A Chicle a day through the end of May

Great cards, if you figure out how to fix the scanner please post that as well

From reading other threads, it sound like scanners with CCD technology are much better at reducing the glare caused by graded card cases. I'm going to look into getting one of these. It sound like they run between $100 - $200. Cannon is one brand recommended by N54 members.

I'll edit and repost the Bo Molenda scans once I track one of these down next week. Been planning to get a "real" scanner for a while now so now I have a good excuse.

Card #3 in the Chicle set is George Kenneally. George is the first player in the set to not use his nickname on his card. His friends called him Gigi. Check out this link for more info on George: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kenneally. He is the first player in the set to have also been an owner of an NFL franchise, purchasing the Pottsville Maroons when they became insolvent. Unfortunately, the team did not survive the 1929 stock market crash.

Someone PLEASE post a better version of this card. This is my poorest card in the set.

Card #4 in the Chicle set is Ed Matesic. Ed played for the Eagles and the "Pittsburgh Football Pirates" as Chris Berman might have called them if they hadn't changed their name to the Steelers later. Here is a little bit of info on Ed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Matesic

Check out the discussion on the proper way to throw a forward pass on the back.

Looks like you got a new scanner!

I didn't get the new scanner yet. Raw cards look fine with pretty much any scanner ... it's the graded cards that cause trouble.

Card #5 in the Chicle set is Glenn Presnell. Glenn holds a number of distinctions in the annals of NFL football history. He played for the inaugural Detroit Lions team in 1934 and help lead them to the NFL championship in 1935. The owner of the Lions let Glenn choose the colors for the team's uniforms and so we owe him for the blue and silver the Lions still use today. He led the league in total yardage in 1933 and set a new NFL scoring record that year. He also held the record for longest field goal (54 yards) for nearly 20 years.
