Dug up a little trove of old Saints trading cards (3 Viewers)

They're barely worth the paper they were printed on...but still a reminder from whence we came...

I’ve got a ton of 86 topps and a few boxes of the brand of the “3D” style cards...forget the brand but probably early 90s. You’re making me want to dig them out.

Man! go ahead and dig them up and post them. This the place to showcase what you got. It's been fun seeing what everybody has.

Here's more Pat Swilling's. Don't know why those came in upside down.

Love the story of Roger Craig's first NFL introduction to Vaughan Johnson

I was thinking of that very thing while looking at the cards! I think he said something like "who the hell is that dude" when he got back to the huddle after his introduction to Vaughan. Vintage.

My uncle was a cab driver in NOLA for decades.
Vaughan was one of his passengers one evening.
According to my uncle, he was a really nice guy...but he dang near took up the whole backseat lol

My uncle also had Michael Jordan as a passenger years later.
MJ tipped him $100 for a $25 cab ride.

I had forgot about Ray Zellars. He was a freakin beast.

IMO Wayne Martin was the best all around DE we ever had. And you could slide him inside to DT and he would collapse the pocket.

Not very many cards printed of Frank Warren. This guy was a lunch pail player a non-stop motor. I've seen him just beat up on O-Linemen.

Here's a few more oldies but goodies.

Hope y'all are enjoying this, I know I am. So if you have a Saints card collection, post them here. Love to see what y'all have. The one's who have posted gave me an idea on what to look for next time I visit the card shop. And I hope you all have a Happy New Year.

The man that changed the culture in New Orleans and brought us our first winning season and playoff birth.

I think he was the Saints 3rd best QB behind Brees and Manning. JMO.
