Raider Card's Bio

The result of an older brother following the Raiders and a Father who follows the Broncos, Joseph Budd was tuned to the Raiders at a young age, starting with Ken Stabler's game against the Vikings in the 1976 season. Going through school, he was the subject of ridicule and resentment, especially after cheering for the Raiders through two more Super Bowl wins, and watched in horror when Bo Jackson's career was derailed.

Never giving up on his team, Joe went on to college, and took his hobby into business, opening a card shop, trading, and doing business both before and after the internet took off, selling cards and collectables.

After discovering that there was no physical way to collect every single card when your name is not Donald Trump, Joe decided to pursue the Raider cards. All Raider Cards.
Shortly after his 30th birthday, his wife made the mild comment, "You are a Card Addict, aren't you?"
To this day, it's been a title worn proudly....as Raider Card Addict, or, as he's known to Raider Fans, RCAinSD.

To date, Raider Card Addict owns 62,185 different Raider Cards, 120 Autographs, 317 Jersey Cards, 4 Semis, a Popcorn Machine, 2 Stock Cars, 4 planes, 3 hot wheels, 4 Starting lineups, A foam Shield, 8 pennants, 3 buckets, a monkey, a stuffed doll(on loan from my daughter, another Raider fan), a 10-foot banner, 3 mini helmets, 2 autographed, 7 1/1 issued cards, a replica stadium of Oakland Alameda County Colliseum, 4 different sizes of mugs, footballs, lights, and even nightlights. All Silver and Black.

Personal info: Married (Sue) October 13, 2000(friday the 13th), Two Kids, David, 6 and Angel, 3.

Presently best pulled item, Jim Thorpe 1 of 1 issue, sold on ebay for 3,700 dollars.
Largest Auction ever won: 160 800 count boxes of cards, for 930 dollars.
Oddest shipping job: Sending a Shane Battier Glass card to China

Present Status: Senior Writer for the Bleacher Report

Finished 3rd overall in Bleacher report the season

Do the Raiders have enough in them to salvage the season and can they break the 12 game losing streak to AFC West rival San Diego?

Hey Raider Card Addict!
I just wrote an article on five backup QBs that should start for the Raiders instead of Jamarcus Russell. If you could check it out and leave some feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
