The Score on Stump Mitcell – 6.0
Stump signed with a great marker and has some good size to his autograph. I love the 1982 Topps Record Breaker card. That year for football was one of my favorites because I used to love drawing the helmets on those cards. The only problem with these is just the normal busy football card getting in the way of the autograph.
Thanks Mr. Mitchell! I’m giving these a 6.
