New FB Acquisitions
I don't see any recent threads, so let's get one going!
I picked up this nice Redskins [can I still say that or is it now the "R" word?] cover of HOFer Bill Dudley.

Haven't posted anything on NET54 in a while and this is my first time on the football side. Just started collecting vintage football a few months back. Here are some of my better pickups:

exhibitman - Get Redskins cards while you can, now. Ebay has a tendency to overreact in cases like this. I can fully see them banning anything with the word "Redskins" in the title or description. They've done it before with collectible Nazi Germany items, as well as banning items with the word "Cuba" in it because of the embargo, which included things like 100 year old stamps, coins and postcards.
Just think of all the cards and memorabilia that might be banned because of this.

BTW, nice REDSKINS cover. I have a Sammy Baugh from that same set.
NewEnglandbb.. - Love the 57's! In my opinion vintage football represents some of the best bargains around.

1950 Bowman's
I picked myself up a Luckman also; along with a Bobby Layne.

2 new ones for my signed HOF'er collection. Down to 22 needed to complete. That said, only cards, only players/coaches & financially feasible (for me). It's been a lot of fun hunting them down.

Larry, congrats on completing your 64 set. I'm only a little over 60% complete on mine.
About the '57 "half" card. Funny (or sad) story: A few years back, at a local mall card show, I came across a dealer who had a pretty big stack of 1957 Topps cards that were cut in half, like your Unitas, sitting in his showcase. He wasn't a regular football guy and had no clue what they were. He really thought they were small sized football cards, until I showed him some of the same 57's, that I had bought at another table, that were not cut in half. I wasn't trying to be mean or nothing, I even waited until no other customers were lingering around to tell him. When he realized it you could tell he really had no clue, and I'll bet he paid some pretty decent money for them. You could just tell, he looked so disappointed.

Murad Football
I just picked up the Michigan card this week, and got ahold of the Murad package in August. All I need is Colgate and I'll have my own personal T51 football subset.
As a side note, I am continually annoyed that the T51 set seems to have included every college in the country except Carlisle. |

I've been out of town, and had the chance to visit a card shop while on vacation. Nice to have several hours to dig through a shop with plenty of vintage! Last pickup was sitting there in the showcase 1955 Topps AA Whizzer White error with the Gaynell Tinsley bio. Only two cards remain and I will complete this set. DYN that after his football career Whizzer served as a Supreme Court Justice for 31 years? Whizzer died in 2002 in Denver, and this is where I picked up the card, Denver!

Sure did. Back when I was in law school a friend of mine at a different school was invited to a dinner where White was speaking to students. I sent him my 55AA to get signed. He not only didn't have the nerve to ask White, he then lost the card.

Absolutely love the 57's especially the Van Brocklin and Tittle. Also those leaf's are great. I will be adding some of those to my collection some day soon. Here are a few of my latest football pickups. Just got the Landry and Griese back from a submission. I had picked them up at a local show.

I like it because it includes helmet history in pic

Back-to-back with Adam on another page too. The Ditka still looks great!!!
1921 Outlook High School Haymakers Football (Yakima, Washington). Just another pre-war local sports history piece. Only one player named on back. |

Very nice 64 Philadelphia Ditka. Card looks like it should be graded higher.
Picked up this Bart Starr rookie to go with my recently purchased 57 Unitas rookie. |

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

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. |

Sweet Brown rookie, Phil! Congrats!

brown rookie
nice Brown rookie.. i picked one up last summer ungraded.. corners aren't near as nice.. prolly grade about 3.5-4 i'd assume.
|
#37

|

Thanks, guys. I don't do too much in football, figured a nice Brown RC would be a good start......

#38

Cannot do better than that: Brown is the Michael Jordan of FB as far as I am concerned. I finished my run of regular issue Topps/Fleer/Phila. Brown cards recently. Need a 1961 IA to finish the regular issue Topps run as far as I want to take it. Still working on the Kahn's, team issues, and Carlings [though at their sizes I may not bother].

I have the entire run of Bowman's for George Taliaferro's career, autographed. George was the first African American drafted by the NFL. I enjoy the look on his face on the 48 Leaf rookie.

I don't think my last attempt to post went through - operator error I'm sure. Here is my George Taliaferro autograph collection. It consists of each of his Bowman cards for his career. I love the look on his face on the 48 Leaf rookie. George was the first African American drafted by the NFL.

OK, got a recent purchase of obscure cards for my player collections, at a great price. But there's a bit of a mystery. Don't know if anybody here can help, but I know we have some oddball kings and some Pats fans, so I figured I'd try. First, here are scans of the cards:
I know these are both from Frito Lay Patriots sets (obviously) but I don't know what year(s) and neither did the seller. The Frito Pats sets are blank backed, so no help there. Hannah's and Tippett's careers only overlapped from 1982-86. According to the Beckett big book, this is the breakdown by year. 1982: Hannah only and this isn't that one, which I already have. 1983: no set 1984: no set 1985: neither player 1986: Tippett only So it appears there are 3 possibilities: 1. These are from the same year and checklists are incorrect 2. There really were Frito sets in 1983 & 84 3. They are from different years If #3 and the checklists are correct/complete, then the Tippett is from the 86 set and Hannah is from a different year. The Beckett checklists include him in 1976, 79 and 81. Probably boring to most of you, but I'm hoping to get to the bottom of this. I've emailed Mike Mosier at Columbia City Collectibles and hoping he'll chime in.

#12 Conerly RC($300 NM) #9 Luhn #33 Gehrke #18 Banonis #51 Cowhig #39 Thomas #105 Cifers #93 Sears Found in Kurt Turdots "bargain box" $5 each but I had to give $15 (maybe $17) for Conerly RC but I was glad to get them! Larry |
