Nice pickups, Larry and John!

Forgive me for showing a baseball team but Walter Camp is the tall fellow in the back in this 1878 Yale Baseball cabinet.

Nice Adderly. My favorite set.

I'm glad this thread was revived, I have two I want to share.

First, Deacon and Olsen look great side by side - just the way they played. And what set is the Adderly from? That's eye catching, but I don't recognize it.

Both of these I've been chasing for a while. The Grange I won in an ebay auction - I'm sure the grade kept some away, but I think the main part of the image presents well - my guess is the paper loss in the upper right corner guaranteed the low grade. And it looks nicer in hand - the seller's image has a lot of glare.

A lot of the Bednarik cards I've seen over the years have that same poor centering. I was glad to get one that has enough of a border to avoid the MC qualifier. I really like how bright the color is - it was my main Christmas gift which makes it nice too.

picked these up on ebay.. trying to build/finish a '59 topps set Unitas .. and the Art Monk..just had to have it... the Adderly above is from the '68 topps set i think.

Thanks Adam. So it looks like the Packers and Raiders got special treatment in that set?

Not sure, but it looks that way, at least for the Packers. I'm not completly up to speed on the 1968's as I'm new to vintage football.
