University of Texas Longhorns RC Collection

[Laxcat]

Hi y'all. I'm putting together my RC's of Longhorns. I'll add more as I dig them up or pick them up. I don't know how modern I want to go with the collection. I truly dislike the designs of 99.9% of all modern issues and that each player could have dozens, if not more, "RC's". Two good things about the modern ones: I should be able to pick them up for next to nothing and I can easily get a card of them in their college uniform.

Awesome collection. Do you have a Nobis rookie? Funny thing, my mom dated him at UT before she met my dad.

If you want a bunch of newer stuff, I can send a bunch to you. I have a huge VY collection and at least one extra college auto I could send your way. Most of my stuff is in UT uniforms

If you don't like the newer stuff, you could always pick up Heritage from '02-present. There are also a bunch of other retro themed sets out there

Thanks. I do have a Nobis that I'm currently tracking down. I've decided to keep it pre 80. It will help make it more manageable. That might change in the future. I just picked up a decent sized auto rookie lot of the guys from 06 to now. I'll keep you in mind before I try to pick up any other new ones.

I love old UT Football, heartbreaking these days though.

Cooper your cards are simply outstanding and some of the real highlights in my college collection!

Matt, I have enjoyed seeing your Longhorn cards even though as Cooper knows it hurts a Razorback fan to say that. Of course Tommy Nobis stopping Namath in his tracks in the 1965 Orange Bowl helped Arkansas win the true 1964 National Championship!

[Laxcat]

Nobis and some newer.

Thanks yall. I'm glad other people enjoy these.

Post CFL. I'd never seen this card before. His nickname was "Tex"

[Beansballcardblog]

Very nice! I wish there were some former Mountaineers in the old CFL stuff. If there is, I just don't know about it. Post CFL. I'd never seen this card before. His nickname was "Tex"

Selvin Young and Rodrique Wright

[Laxcat]

I know. OU sucks. Except for this man.

[Laxcat]

I thought this was his rookie.:( Im down for some trading if anyone has an extra Paul Campbell 48 Leaf.

Matt,

It was great to meet you today and see a Lansford card in person.

Well, great to see you again, I guess...since we did chat at last month's show and I just had no idea "this" thread is "you."

Good meeting you as well. I'll bring a box of Mountaineers stuff for you to peruse next month.

I feel like you said Saturday that you're on Twitter. If so, will you message me (or post here) your ID?

[Laxcat]

I haven't used it yet. I don't know how. But I'm VintageSetBuilder@mcharlton81

[Beansballcardblog]

Twitter can be pretty active as it applies to current cards, but I haven't found a lot of vintage collectors on there. They may be there and I just haven't found them. Who knows?

[Laxcat]

Ox Emerson. This is not the '33 but will do for now. Ox is the first Longhorn to appear on a "card", I believe.

[Laxcat]

Gotta love his UD set.

1927 Schedule. I'm amazed this has survived in this shape.

So this is now a Longhorns thread. The RC angle was too limited. I apologize if these next few programs make make all you Razorback, Fighting Irish, or Volunteers a little sick.

My 1969 Shootout program and ticket is in much better shape but yes it does hurt!

I need a ticket if you have a line on another one!! Yeah, this one is ratty. This is my dads from the game and he told me he carried it around on campus with him forever and it took the brunt of the elements.

[Laxcat]

Picked these up at the last Southfork show in Plano. '41 & '67 SWC schedules and a '58 window decal schedule.

[Laxcat]

Some great cards from Cooper and a few modern.

Found this gem in storage today. James Street when he hurled for the baseball team.

The one and the same. UT had some heat throwers.

[Laxcat]

Picked this cool item up. It's a ruler that has the '63 schedule on the back.

[Laxcat]

It's been a bit since I've been able to add anything to the PC. Picked this up. 1915 UT Football Schedule. I love the ad in the back. Professional Barbers! Sweet.

[Laxcat]

The ad on the back.

[jefferyepayne]

Very cool stuff! Do you have a list of all U of Tx players who have been on a card / matchbook / bread label / premium prior to 1970? How many of those do you have and what are you missing?

jeff

[Laxcat]

Jeff,

I do have a working list. It is quite limited for early UT stuff. I've had to be happy with picking up year books form 1898-1935. Ox Emerson has a few matchbooks. I lot of the UT guys played baseball as well so I have that option but... I think it's cheating.

[jefferyepayne]

Have you considered seeking out vintage photos for some of the players that don't have cards?

jeff

[jefferyepayne]

Looks like there are at least 32 different cards of Bobby Layne. Have you started collecting these yet?

http://www.footballcardgallery.com/search/layne/

That would be a fun player run to do.

jeff

[Laxcat]

Jeff,

I have most of those. I'm a bit confused about the 3 '48L's? I've only ever known of two. I need the 1960 Kahns, the exhibit, bread label, and the bazooka.

The regular issue stuff was pretty easy to obtain. His legacy seems to be fading. It's a shame. How many of these guys today could pound a six pack minutes before a game and then decimate their opponents?

Know one seems to talk about the curse that he put on Detroit. It's been 50 years and counting...

[Mikehealer]

Matt great stuff you have. Layne is one I collect also. Only two 48 Leafs that I'm aware of, the link Jeff provided has a 49 Leaf to go with the 2 '48's.

Here's my Layne Bazooka.
