Do you have the four Bread for Energy?

Continuing to try to complete a subset of the 75th Anniversary team.

Yes.

jeff

That’s good, I thought they were pretty tough.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are extremely tough! One of the ones I have is part of an uncut strip of labels so am still looking for an individual example of one of them (Johnny Lujack) as I refuse to cut something like that up into pieces.

jeff

Is there glue on the back of the strip? I always felt those strips were part of the bigger advertisement that was cut up.

1963 Fleer #63 Fred Williamson "books" for $15 in NM. This ebay win was $11.50 + $3 shipping, but this seems to be about what the cheapest cards are selling for. I placed a snipe of $19.77 as I am getting tired of seeing this card on my list lol! In hand I thought the card might be trimmed, it measures like the other cards in my set, but the picture has a slight tilt to it (like I care about that lol). Nicknamed "The Hammer".
Just need five more of these little devils to complete my set, and I'll have another card to report on when it arrives.

Nice Larry. For anybody that hasn't watched the re-broadcast of Super Bowl I, The Hammer was one of the Chiefs who provided commentary during the re-broadcast. He hasn't changed a bit ... as outspoken as ever and very entertaining.

jeff

This is now the oldest card in my collection. Not that old, I know. But old for me.

1963 Fleer Lance Alworth RC. A POPULAR CARD! Finally found a lower grade example on ebay (although I will say the sellers VG description might be a little generous LOL). Book price NM is $200 but this appears to be one of those times the book is thrown out the window. Sniped at $103.51 and lets just say I was prepared to go higher!
Four more needed to finally put this set to rest:
#6 Chuck Long RC SP
#23 Cookie Gilchrist RC
#37 Billy Cannon
#47 Len Dawson RC

Awesome card, Larry! So you have the Buoniconti? Would love to see yours. I landed mine a couple of months ago.

That's a very nice Davey O'Brien! I love that set.

Great Alworth pickup, too, Larry. Another tough one out of the way.

Here you go Dan:

Thanks Larry!

More RCs for the 75th Anniversary Team subset.

Met up with a local guy last night to do some trading and landed this Night Train. Also picked up a few more cards for some sets I'm working on.

This was one of my Mt. Rushmore's . 1957 Bart Starr graded 4.5 by psa. I'm happy to own it. Christmas from me to me. Paul Hornung is the last on my list to complete this set. I'll have to update my 2017 goals.. i've only got a handful of '72s left as well. Happy hunting.

I picked up a '71 OPC Bazooka hockey counterpart earlier this year but never dreamed any Bazooka CFL cards would ever hit the market. This is one of my best ever pickups and I revel in its ugliness:

Just a few modest pick-ups for the '65 Philadelphia set I am going back to work on. These are the first football card pick-ups since Labor Day. I have some catching up to do!

This Sid Youngelman card arrived in the mail this weekend. I've been looking for one for a long time, and this completes my fully-autographed 1964 Topps set.

Congrats on finishing!

Fantastic pickup, Todd! Congrats on finishing that set. Your signed AFL cards are truly a national treasure. I hope they somehow stay together forever.

jeff

Thanks, Jeff. I hope that I can complete the collection one day. There are an awful lot of stories wrapped up into these cards.

And thank you, Shawn!

Congrats, Todd! That is quite an accomplishment!

Congrats Todd! In my estimation, Your collection is in the top 2 I've ever seen. Congrats on a great accomplishment.

Wow, thank you, Dan. That is very kind of you to say. I'm not sure my collection is deserving of that kind of praise, especially when I know what some other folks on this site have acquired. But I appreciate the compliment nonetheless.

1976 Topps Sports Club Lynn Swann, in da house:

This one just came today. I'm pretty pumped. Just need Bronko Nagurski and Turk Edwards to finish up the 1935 National Chicle Hall of Famers. Easier said than done...but still, one less to find now!

Great cards, everyone!

Glad you found one, Robert! Congrats!

Thanks brother........i was happy with this one for sure. I just can't swing the money right now for higher grades so i was looking for a solid Brown with little to no snow on the front and a decent back. Think i did ok

You did good, man! Enjoy!

Thanks brother... I know it's no high grade but I got this PSA 2 Unitas if ya need one. Just wanted to let u knowAttachment 300495

So, one of my goals for 2018 was to keep my eyes open for Chargers memorabilia, particularly Type 1/team issued photos. Over the last couple of weeks, I have managed to purchase 70-something such photos from a fellow board member. These make me very, very happy. :D Here is a sampling. I may share more later if I have time. Thanks for looking.

Those photos are amazing. Bringing the history of the game to life, and it doesn't hurt that Alworth makes an appearance. Congrats on the pick-ups and continued good luck in increasing the collection.

Great photos, Robert! I'm assuming the ones showing Chargers celebrating is from their AFL championship?

jeff

Jeff, if I recall correctly those photos followed their victory over Denver on 12/22/63 which clinched their place in the championship game.

Robert I may be called for a delay of game here since it may have already been mentioned. Todd Tobias on the board AFLfan has published two of the best books I have seen both on the Chargers.

Mine are boxed right now but I believe the titles are CHARGING THROUGH the AFL and BOMBS AWAY on the Coryell era. Guys please correct me on the titles or Todd.

You are correct on the titles as far as I know.

A nothing card, but a big deal to me because it completes my subset of the 75th Anniversary team (mostly but not completely RCs). I found it by accident as it's mislabeled, it's really an 88.

That Woodson is so freaking cool! I was a big fan of his back in the day. Great looking card and an oddball pre-RC. Love it!

Thanks. I also included these in my subset as I liked them better than the rookie cards.

Great card, love the oddballs, especially the police sets. Value is in the eye of the beholder, some of my favorite cards have little actual value.

Fun day at the mailbox with the arrival of 31 additions to my 1965 Philadelphia set! Many of these were commons, but I did get the Hornung and a really colorful checklist. I also included a couple of scans of Giants players. I am finding the Giants cards to be really eye-catching. I realize this isn't considered a "major" set, but I am as happy with this project as anything I have collected in quite a while. Considering that I have been really unfocused over the course of my collecting life, it is rewarding to get on a project and stick with it. This will be fun to finish.

Love the '65 Philly, I love the photography on many of those. Good luck with the set as you move forward.

Thank you!

Thanks to a board member, found after some time the right midgrade Namath.

very nice. congrats

Great stuff Robert, Adam, and Peter! I nice array of vintage football.

And that's a really sharp Namath, Peter. Congrats on the pickup.

jeff

Much appreciated, Jeff. Fun stuff!

Midgrade? WOW this card looks GREAT!
Larry

Purchases from the recent Sterling Sports Auctions, so I am off on another set:D
These cards were listed in groups of two, and I paid $45 for each lot (plus buyers premium and shipping).
Not sure how great of a deal I got, but I really like them, and they appear to be in line with my habit of trying to pay 10% of NM "book" or less.

Go Jags!
 

National Chicle football is a great set and those are beautiful cards for that price. Good luck pursuing the set. Wish I had some duplicates to send up the road to Hilliard.

I remember so many of these floating around my elementary school. I grew an hour south of Pittsburgh. Have always disliked the Steelers but obviously most of my classmates were fans.

Thanks for sharing, it brought back memories of a much simpler time in life!

Those are beauties, Larry! Congrats!

You and me both, Kin! I grew up in Western PA and for whatever reason as a kid I didn't like the Steelers either. Took a lot of grief for that from friends so maybe that's the reason I despise them so much now LOL.

jeff

That's quite a haul, Larry. Congrats on starting one heck of a set. Love Chicles.

jeff

I was headed out of the card show yesterday and spotted a 1955 Bowman card on top of a $1 box. Dug through it all and found a few more. Finally decided to "start" the set instead of just "acquiring."

It's early in the process, but I have 43/160 cards (26.9%). I love that if I'm not worried about condition, I can pick up most of the cards in the set for $1 or less.

Show Spoils

Nicely centered Blanda to go with my nicely centered Namath

Very nice Blanda Jason!!!! Great set and great card!:)

I started ANOTHER new set:D
Larry
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=23920

Each has told me that the other was the greatest they faced at their positions, so I thought this would be kind of neat...

Great pickups!

Todd: love those signed '65 cards. The inscriptions from those to show so much mutual respect.

Larry: another set, huh. Good luck with Salada. Those are cool.

Jason: you can't go wrong with a well centered '65 tall boy ... particularly of a star!

jeff

That is just plain cool. I have never seen anything like that, the connection between the players is just such a next-level thing for an auto. Thanks for sharing.

I wanted a Lombardi card but unless you count that Philadelphia thing where he's pictured in a tiny insert he doesn't have one, so bought this instead.

A few felt back yellow variations

Wow - 2 Doak Walkers. Very nice. How are the backs?

Fantastic stuff! If you are looking to sell any of these, I'm looking to upgrade one of the ones you got.

jeff

Today I took a road trip to "The Villages" retirement community where their collectors club hosts a card show three or four time a year. It may be the last time I visit since it seems that all the cards are the same as I saw last time lol but I needed to get out of the house anyway:) I picked up three hits 1961 Nu Card Scoops set, and ex Miami Dolphin Larry Seiple (who lives there) was signing for free. So I pulled all Larrys cards from my sets, and he signed them all (plus a couple not pictured) including his 1970 RC.
stopped for a cheeseburger fries and a milk shake on the way home too, all in all not a bad day!

A few recent pick-ups. Just ran across the Starr at the LCS and had to have it, I love the Philly issues. The Namath was a mistake, purchased it thinking I still needed it for my '72 set but am down to four and Namath isn't one of them. So, have a nice Namath, but nothing I would have purchased for my PC so would much rather have put those funds towards something else. The Kellogg's are just the latest in the loooooooooong road to complete this set with no cracking. Only about half way so far, and I try to catch deals or trades rather than just spend a ton to have it.
