C.A.: 1994 Classic Pro Line Live Jacksonville Jaguars

(Greetings from one of only a handful of places on earth that received more than three feet of snow this weekend. No, I'm still not used to this after 30-plus years. I need some Cardboard Appreciation. This is the 345th in a series): Sometimes I can't believe my luck when I decide to write a post. This card has been sitting on my desk as a possible topic for months and I only decided to post it because I needed something quick during a holiday filled with visitors and snow. As I uploaded the card and searched for an online version of this newspaper front, the date on the top hit me: "December 1, 1993". Hey, today is December 1! Thirty-one years ago today, this Florida Times-Union edition was published, a day after the Jacksonville Jaguars were named an NFL expansion team. Obviously a momentous day in the city. I found a couple of photos containing the cover image on the Jaguars' web site. YES.   I have no attachment to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Like many NFL fans
