Collection of 1990s Dallas Cowboys Football Trading Cards
This is a collection of nine vintage NFL trading cards housed in a transparent plastic nine-pocket binder sleeve. The collection primarily features defensive back Kevin Smith (No. 26) and safety Bill Bates (No. 40) of the Dallas Cowboys, dating from approximately 1992 to 1994. The assortment includes various manufacturers prominent during the 'Junk Wax Era,' such as Topps, Fleer, Playoff, and Score. Starting from the top left, the cards include a 1992 Topps Kevin Smith Rookie Card, two identical 1992 GameDay Kevin Smith cards, a 1993 SkyBox Impact, a 1993 Topps, and a 1994 Collector's Choice Kevin Smith. The bottom row features a Playoff brand card, a 1994 Fleer Bill Bates, and a 1992 Pacific Bill Bates. Physically, the cards are standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches, printed on cardstock with glossy UV coatings typical of the era. The colors remain vibrant, though some edge wear and corner softening are visible through the plastic, particularly on the bottom-right Pacific card. A 'Gold Foil' stamp is visible on the top-middle GameDay card, indicating a subset or parallel. The cards appear to be mid-grade raw specimens, showing the era's characteristic heavy borders and action photography highlighting the iconic silver and blue Cowboys uniforms. No major creases or water damage are immediately apparent, though the binder page shows minor surface scuffing.
