Sunday Steeler 6-Pack (A Week Late)

The fourth installment of a the Sunday Steeler 6-Pack.  It's brutal to watch every Sunday.  I'm beginning to wonder if we are ever going to win.  I even forgot to post this last Sunday.  I must have been celebrating the Bye Week win!!

Each Sunday of the NFL season, I will feature 6 random cards from my Pittsburgh Steelers' PC.  There is no rhyme or reason for any of them, just 6 random cards I pull out of one of my many boxes or binders of black and gold (and there are MANY) and maybe a comment or two.

1980 Topps  '79 AFC Championship Game Highlight 

Here is a nice shot of Rocky Bleier cutting up the Oilers defense.  In the background is Mike Webster looking on after probably throwing a nice block to open up a hole and on the ground is Gerry Mullins throwing a nice cut block on Greg Bingham.

1970 Topps Chuck Allen

What are you so smiley about? 

2008 Topps Bruce Davis 

Is Brucey doing his best Elvis hip shake here or is he running some kind of play?

Random Steeler Card Monday

I can't believe it has been an entire week since I last posted.  My free time is getting few and far between lately.

2003 Bowman Ike Taylor (Rookie)

This week, on May 5th, it is current Steeler corner-back Ike Taylor's birthday.  So to celebrate, I thought I would make Ike the focus of the random weekly Steeler card.  Look at Ivan up there in all his rookie practice jersey glory.  Ain't he sweet?  So full of concentration.

2006 Topps Heritage Ike Taylor

In looking through my collection, there aren't many Ike's to choose from.  I checked the lists online and found that he has less than 40 cards from all the sets since coming into the league in 2003.  Maybe I can find all of his cards...or maybe I won't.

That's the joy of collecting defensive players.  Unless they are the superstars of the league, they rarely get featured except in the "monster" sets that come out each year.  Now the Upper Deck is out of the game, there might not be anymore sets bigger than a couple hundred cards.  Unless, of course, Panini resurrects Score with a larger release.  They should do Pinnacle instead...wait I'm getting off track here.
