Few freshmen have etched their name in the Ohio State football history book like Maurice Clarett did in 2002.  The Big Ten Freshman of the Year rushed for 1,237 yards and 18 touchdowns in his only season as a Buckeye. In the 2002 BCS National Championship Game, he made a key defensive play by running down Miami's Sean Taylor following an interception and stripping him of the football to give possession back to his Buckeyes.  He went on to score the winning touchdown in double-overtime as he led heavy underdog Ohio State to the school's seventh national title.

He was drafted by the Denver Broncos with the first pick of the third round in the 2005 NFL Draft.

Maurice Clarett signed each of these in black sharpie and included the 02 Natl Camps inscription on both.  The December 2, 2002 issue has an address label, while the Special Commemorative issue celebrating the National Championship is a store bought copy.
