    Is this the card you're talking about. It's a 1986- wouldn't the photo be taken in 1985?

    more pics from '86. the pic of smith with his jersey untucked is a still from a video of the 1986 training camp.

    maybe i'm wrong but isn't '86 the last year that they wore the blue facemasks? if so, then wouldn't any pic of kelly with a blue facemask necessarily be only from '86?

    Everyone, I think you are looking at the width of the numbers when you should look at the style of the numbers. The style of the numbers are completely different than the pictures supplied. What you should do is try and match the one and two to any Bills players numbers from those couple years, not just Kelly pictures. Number slants and the block spacing within the numeral two.
