AboutDuke Ha Expertise I have extensive knowledge of the 1990's-Present Dallas Cowboys teams. Specifically, team uniforms, equipment, and so forth. I own numerous Cowboys memorabilia and would love to one day write a book on the evolution of the team's uniforms dating back to their inception in 1960. I may not be able to answer most Cowboys questions prior to the 1990's as I was but a youth at the time :-).
Experience I make annual trips to see the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. I have a library of Cowboys books, dvd's and VHS tapes. I have recorded nearly all games dating back since the 1998 season. I am an artist, so most of my collections such as cards and photos are not for value, but rather for reference. I appreciate the asthetics of the Cowboys and the game of football. As a hobby, I customize and paint McFarlane Dallas Cowboy figures to near exact detail as their live counterparts. I own several game used items, autographs, and roughly 10-12 authentic jerseys with 3 different manufacturers.
Publications I have no known publications. However, as of October 16, 2006, my written work and art has mostly been seen on the Wikipedia topic the Dallas Cowboys- uniforms/logos.
Education/Credentials Associates of Arts in Liberal Arts, Associates of Arts in Graphic Design, Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts with emphasis in Illustration. My dream would be, of course, to work for the Dallas Cowboys organization possibly for their marketing and design team. The Dallas Cowboys annual bluebooks and game programs have always interested me.

Question I am looking for a list of every Emmitt Smith Trading card made. The collecting books do not list them all. I know because I have cards that are not in the books. I would like to collect every card of Emmitt's for my little boys. Please help. If you do not know, could you give me some pointers on where to look? Thank you.
Answer Hi Amanda,
ooh, this is out of my range of expertise. I am sure you've checked Beckett and all other Sportscard magazines and books, but I guess if it were me, then I'd try maybe a dealer at a memorabilia show or convention. There was a Beckett book dedicated to just Emmitt several years back. While I am sure it is outdated now and that there have been many more cards of Emmitt Smith since that book was published, you still might be able to fill all of the gaps inbetween that time. I wish his Sportscard store in Pensacola, Florida was still open, they could definitely help. My guess is maybe write to Beckett or to maybe Emmitt's fanclub, that would probably be your best bet. Sorry I was not much help. thanks for asking though. Take care
