In Honor of the Ravens Being in the National Spotlight

Today and tomorrow I shall feature some sweet cards I picked up at the card show.  All of these cards were $2 or less.  The ones with stickers on them were half off of the number you see.  Amazing deals to be had, and I bought many great cards to include in the Ravens binder.  While my main focus in terms of player collections are still Joe Flacco and Ray Rice, I'm also collecting all Ravens game used and auto cards. 

Clarence Moore and B.J. Sams.  Moore was with the Ravens from 2004-2006.  After that he has no stats, so I assume he retired or wasn't picked up.  Sams is listed as a free agent.  He played a few years with the Ravens and then signed with the Chiefs for one year. He was released after four games.



A Mark Clayton and Matt Jones dual jersey/game used football card. I love the game used football part especially.  Clayton played for the Ravens for five years and is now a wide receiver on the Rams for the past two seasons.  His best playing days are behind him, as is the case of Todd Heap, whose jersey card is also featured.  When the Ravens released Heap this season, it was a big deal around here in Baltimore. Heap was a fan favorite, and a "face" of the Ravens.  He was picked up by the Arizona Cardinals and is now playing in warmer pastures.  He is pretty much hurt all the time though.

The Yamon Figurs card is one of my favorites from the bunch. It shines pretty well. This Demetrius Williams auto is my second, but my first jersey card of him. Some of you might recall this card that I posted some time ago:



I guess one can never have too many Demetrius Williams auto cards?

Ugh, the Chargers have first and goal as I type this.  The Ravens sometimes have a tendency to play down to the level of their opponents.  I hope that doesn't happen this week.  I might have just jinxed it.
