    Very nice article. Per pro football focus, Evan Mathis was the #1 rated guard in football in 2012.

    Well, hopefully the board can find it within them to leave the man alone and allow him to be the member of the community he's been for awhile now. I wish articles like this were being published in mainstream media, it would be good for the hobby.

    Fantastic article. I like him more as a player knowing he's also a card nerd under those pads. Thanks for sharing!

    I think its great a professional ballplayer collects cards just like me. If you are reading this Evan, glad to have you on the forums and good luck with your collection!
    I collect vintage PSA graded SF Giants, Willie Mays, McCovey, Cepeda, Marichal and Perry. And modern players like Buster Posey, Will Clark and Barry Bonds.

    I like that he mentioned wrestling in his interview! image I have followed his posts and his pickups and happy to have him here. I'll have his RC on my wantlist since he was an Alabama state wrestling champion. I have been a high school and club wrestling coach and I have a small collection of old football cards often with a cartoon on back talking about their wrestling careers. image

    Thanks for sharing. Nice article.

    AWESOME collection Evan. Great to see professional athletes collecting as well.

    PS. I do remember another board member telling me that an Eagle was a board member, but he would not say who it was. I think respecting Evan's privacy was a nice thing to do.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Even before I found out who he is I had always wondered what his PSA handle meant. Now I kinda want to know even more...

    Nice to see a guy who is level-headed enough to collect Bo and Frank Thomas (Auburn) even though he went to Alabama. Those are some amazing cards!

    For what it is worth, he is also one of the coolest people I have ever met as a result of this hobby.
    What a terrific collection he has, too.
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!
    Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !

    It was pretty much a huge snub for him to not have been originally selected, but at least they got it right.

    I obviously was a fan when knowing he was part of our crew, and that he was a high school wrestler too.

    Congrats Evan, and love your sense of humor about it.

    Evan is Giant class act. He's donated two years now signed footballs for donation to breast cancer. The last one had a 1,000 donated. Just an incredible guy. I talk and message him often. Very proud of him and glad he's finally getting his due.
