Default Any Pats' Fan Wanna Make a 'Ceremonial' Bet Against my Bills??

You know how mayors and governors make schmaltzy bets based on their teams facing off against each other in an important game - "I'll give you 17 lbs. of avocados if your team wins, or you give me 20 Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches if my guys are victorious"??

Anyone want to put together some kind of relatively insignificant, lighthearted cardboard-based wager for tomorrow night's Bills vs. Patriots game??

Buff for me, Pats for you??

Since I am very light on football cards, I looked through my 1972 Topps high number doubles and could only find two Patriots, Larry Carwell and Mike Montler, to offer. The Carwell is pretty nice and the Montler has edge wear all around it (which makes no grammatical sense, since it is a rectangular card), and I grabbed one of the more important cards from the set, a nice but OC #338 Steve Spurrier IA, but big surprise!! When I took a shot of the backs, I realized he appears to be cut a little short. Crap!! I've only had this card for 25+ years and this is the first time I've noticed it...

I can certainly add other things to the Patriots pot (maybe baseball cards?), but this is a starting point. Also have either a graded or ungraded high number Namath IA card from the set I could add.

Anyone want to play?? LMK what you're thinking.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Man, based on the PM's I'm getting, no one wants to 'surrender' cards in what's going to be a losing effort. God, I hope that's the case!!!!!!!!

Let's go Bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh for the glory years of those four consecutive Super Bowl losses. Hopefully NE knocks them out of the running for #5, but realistically it's a longshot if it's a clear field, BIlls are the better team right now.

Bills are just dominating this game on both sides of the ball. They are putting on a clinic.

Please, you Pats fans put yourselves to sleep every night on pillows made of Super Bowl trophies. I go to sleep on a pillowcase filled with dust.
