Looking for rare card

AdamMcDermott88 · 01-22-2013, 05:21 PM

My uncle Gary McDermott played for the Bills in 1968 and then the Falcons in 1969. He didn't do much, but I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction as far as finding his rookie card. He thinks that it may not exist, but I figured I would give it a shot. If anyone knows where I can look to see if one does exist, or has one I would love to buy it.

I put the name in the Beckett PriceGuide online and didn't find anything for him

Beckett doesn't even have him listed...so it may very well not exist.

Darn, thank you both for looking!

Is he one of these guys--if he played for the Bills in 1968 then you need to look for 1969 issues of the Bills (cards of 1969 reflect the 1968 season).

None of those are him but I didn't know that, so the 1969 Falcons card would have been printed in 70 also?

Yes. Your typical card is issued to reflect the previous season. For example the 1970 All-star cards are of players who made the 1969 all-star team. Take any card and look on the back, if it's considered a 1991 issue, topps for example, the card will show the players 1990 stats and team.
