"So I'm not surprised if football stuff is harder to find."

I completely agree that vintage Football equipment and memorabilia is a lot harder to find. But typically (in the collecting world anyway) that makes it more valuable/expensive. That has not happened yet for Football vs. Baseball... unless it is a Gladiator Helmet, Heisman Trophy or something equally rare and spectacular.

I think it will eventually happen as todays kids and young adults mature and have more disposable income. I also agree with the previous comments about Baseball Cards being a major influence. As stated earlier... Kids today do not collect like that, and when the current generation dies off, it's a whole new Ballgame (so to speak!)
