United States Football League (USFL) trading card for quarterback Reggie Collier’s 1984 season with the Washington Federals. The front of the card is white with an image of two football players framed in red and blue bands. The player in the foreground, Washington Federals Center Brian Musselman, is positioned with his proper right hand holding the ball on the ground, ready to snap the ball. Standing behind him, ready to receive the snap, is a Quarterback wearing the number 10 jersey. The image used on the card actually depicts Joe Gilliam, who wore the number 10 jersey in 1983 rather than Collier. The top of the card reads: [PREMIER USFL TM EDITION] in blue and red text. At the bottom of the front of the card is a graphic of a Washington Federals helmet in profile next to a yellow band with the text: [FEDERALS / REGGIE COLLIER / QB].
