Purdue players...
I don't have a huge football collection, but I have done a couple '55 Topps All-American sets and I collect some oddball pennants and such. One thing I do focus on is material related to former Purdue Boilermaker players.
This painting of Len Dawson was done by Freeda Thorpe, the former wife of Jim Thorpe, when she was in her late 80s or early 90s. It's not on my "Purdue wall" yet, as I am remodeling, but I'm excited to eventually have it re-framed and put it up, surrounded by some of my other vintage Purdue material.
BTW - Steve - I love the Meredith Yuban litho - great piece!
