Questions for Vintage Football Collectors

[TanksAndSpartans]

Robert, great thread!

Collected baseball as a kid since it was my first favorite sport. As football started to overtake it, I did put the 84 football set together, but soon after my interest in collecting anything waned.

As an adult, with marriage, kids, etc., baseball has completely dropped off my radar, I don't think I could name 5 players in MLB right now - I did watch the All-Star game with some friends last summer though.

And with football, for about the last 10 years or so, I found less and less I was a diehard fan of one team, less having to be in front of the TV for a certain game, etc. and more I was picking up video of old games on the internet (dvds by mail or youtube), reading about the history of the game, strategy of the game etc.

Finally in 2012, having discovered COMC by chance - I don't even remember what I was searching for, I stumbled back into the hobby - exclusively on the vintage football side.

P.S. Something just came back to me - I think it might have been an ESPN the Magazine article about the Dmitri Young collection that reminded me how much I used to enjoy cards as a kid.
