The Score on Rob Belloir – 5.0
This was an older one in my backlog that I hadn’t posted. Rob had a small signature, but that helped him squeeze it into different spots. It didn’t come out well on these cards but that’s more on the cards than Rob. Sometimes older cards just don’t take the ink very well.
Rest in peace Mr. Belloir. My thoughts go out to your family and friends.
