Today's football card is 1989 Topps Robin Cole. With no idea what to put on the cards for most defenders, Topps defaulted to year-by-year interception numbers for most DBs and LBs, which is hilarious because Cole had so few interceptions. Cole is from a Pittsburgh suburb called 84, PA.

I feel like I can smell this card(and others like it) through the computer.

Birthplace of 84 Lumber, of course. (Or is there no 84 Lumber in your nape of the woods??)

No sarcasm, were tackles not tracked? I mean, that's why Foyesade Oluokun and Zaire Franklin are making the big bucks.

The town name is spelled out as Eighty Four. The company that's headquartered there is 84 Lumber. Now you know.
