HOFer Warren Sapp

I bought from eBay this Signed prepaid phone card of Warren Sapp from Signature Rookies #1 serial #'d 1,534 of 3,750 paid a total of $12.49 this will be part of my HOF collection. Figured I had to buy one since I meet him once at a celebrity golf tournament and he was the biggest ass.  Mind you this was at a celebrity golf tournament he would talk to anyone or even acknowledge anybody this was including the 4 players that PAID to play and where in his group I would have asked for my money back (not really) but this is usually when the celebrity is talkative and shaking hands and joking around with at least there group but Warren nothing.
