O.J. McDuffie gets his moment - his 1993 Upper Deck rookie card. First NFL uniform. First photo shoot. First time seeing his name on the back of a Dolphins jersey - or any jersey for that matter! A dream come true… until the card actually came out.

Let’s just say… the fit didn’t hit.

From oversized uniforms and questionable shoes (“Air Slops,” anyone?) to the reality of waiting for film to develop back in the day, Juice shares the hilarious - and brutally honest - story behind a card he’s not exactly rushing to autograph.

Along the way, Seth, Juice, and The Legendary Sevach break down:

• The rise of Upper Deck as a premium card brand
• What made the “Star Rookie” subset special
• Why this card still matters… even if O.J. isn’t a fan

Oh—and if you’ve got this card? You might want to bring a different one to get signed.

This is what Fin Condition is all about—stories, nostalgia, and the cards that bring it all back.

Because we don’t care if it’s gem mint… as long as it’s in Fin Condition.

• How rare true high-quality copies really are
• Seth revealing how many Marino rookies he owns
• O.J. McDuffie sharing what it was like catching passes from Marino himself

Plus, we talk about:
