Bill Bergey was another of the former football players that was a VIP signer at this year's National. I didn't know who he was, but I had a voucher for him, and I had found one of his cards, so I went ahead and got the card signed. Usually, I just trade away the football vouchers for baseball guys, but the handlers limited folks this year to 4 vouchers per person, now. So, I went with some of the non-baseball guys, and will have a little more variety in my album.
This is a 1980 Topps football card that I had found at the vendor who had the board of cards of signers. I liked the design, and went with it.
Bergey (b. 1945) played professional football from 1969 to 1980 for the Bengals and Eagles. He was the 1969 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and finished second in the 1974. He was an All Pro twice (1974 and 1975) and a Pro Bowler 5 times 1969, 1974, 197, 1977 and 1978.
