Nice set but some galring over sights , no Bud Wilkinson card WHAT? WOW!!!!! No Jimmy Harris Qb who never lost a game as OU QB 3 yrs undefeated , No 47 game winning streak card, no Clendon Thomes who’s in the college FB HOF, No Billy Vessel Heisman winner,No Rod Shoate /Buddy Burris both 3 time All- Americans,No Jim Weatherall,no Jack Mildren /father of the Wishbone.151 All-Americans and I’ll bet half them no card. From 2000 to now weak.40’s weak,20+ in College Fb HOF notables missing Jim Owen,Kurt Burris,Bennie Owens -no cards…..but no Bud Wilkinson,Jimmy Harris,Rod Shoate,Buddy Burris & Clendon Thomas what a BOO BOO.
Have been collecting this set, great cards UD!! Phil, maybe they couldn’t get auth. for those players, i know i was hoping for a vessels card too lol
Sooner fan since the 47 game streak. Just started collecting this set when a dealer used a few of them as padding – Phil Grove is right – great set but waaaaay too many omissions – what about Prentice Gautt, Joe Don Looney and Marcus Dupree and no Vessels, Mildren and no Bud? That’s like no Bear Bryant in a Alabumma set
Along with the omissions mentioned above, there is significant error with card #42. Card #42 is supposed to be Steve Sewell. However the photo is not Sewell. Sewell was #13 all four years at OU (’81-’84). The player in the photo is wearing #3. In ’81 and ’82, #3 was worn by Barrion Walker, a DB. In ’83 and ’84, #3 was worn by Derrick Shepard, a WB in ’83 and a SE in ’84. I think this photo is Derrick Shepard. I think this error is a great disservice to one of the most underrated OU players of all time and probably their most underrated running back ever. As nice as this set it is, it could have been so much better.
