I'll post something different than most...I don't do much with high school football but these pieces had me...This Lick High School vs Seattle High School broadside was interesting from the get go as it took place about seven months after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake...I got it from Keith Schneider of Gasoline Alley Antiques in Seattle about 25-30 years ago...Keith was kind of a mentor to me when I was just getting going in collecting...Below a shot of a younger and thinner me twenty years ago at his house in Seattle buying a bronze from him...

Below is another High School Championship football broadside...this one from Connecticut...I sort of had to get this one because I now have championship high school football posters from both coasts...I did a story on this, link above...in which I brought out a lot of the background of the teams....HOWEVER...the most incredible thing happened about 3/4 the way thru writing the story...The question kept circling....where would the Yale Cup trophy be today...was it trashed...was it discarded into a trash heap in the 1950's...was it in someone's attic...in a trunk in a basement...had it already hit the market and sold in Legendary...Heritage...bla bla yada yada...Well...I FOUND IT!!!!!!...and you can see it in the story and read about how I found it there....
