For any of you CFL card collectors out there, here is the checklist for the 2006 Jogo Hamilton Tiger-Cats player cards:
128 - Agustin Barrenechea
134 - Roger Dunbrack
155 - James Cotton
157 - Jason Maas
158 - Ray Mariuz
159 - DeVonte Peterson
162 - Corey Holmes
164 - George Hudson
165 - Marwan Hage
There are two variations for each of the above cards, one from the black-bordered collectors sets and one from the white-bordered players set. In addition there is a variation set released which contains two Tiger-Cats:
This is how it works: If a player wants to be included in a set he pays a fee to the card producer who in turn supplies the player with a couple of hundred cards which the player can hand out or autograph for promotional purposes. I guess DJ wasn’t interested in getting a card included in this year’s set. As for Andy Petek, I don’t think the photographer was around long enough to witness his “15 minutes” of fame, if it were 15 minutes at all.
It’s the smallest contribution from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats that I’ve ever seen. Maybe they just didn’t want to be associated with the sad-sack excuse of a football team that took to the field this year.
