Thanks Dan!

I thought maybe everybody had forgotten "Big Jim". I've only seen two copies of this postcard in the past 5 years and the total POP (across all grades in PSA & SGC) for it is 6 so it's definitely a keeper!

Thanks Robert/Erik.

As a cool aside, my bro in law coaches (coached??) for the Browns this year and formed bit of a friendship with Jim Brown. I know JB has had some pretty nasty moments, but apparently man to man he's a very good guy and still very involved/present in the organization (even though I guess they're not really "his" Browns anymore).

That is a "cool aside" Ian! To this day my dad insists Brown is the best running back of all time and it is hard to argue with him.

Erik my dad said he was one of the greats too but he is a big fan of the other Jim..........JIM TAYLOR. He said that and I quote "that ole boy can run and hit"...lol

As a Browns fan this video had me rolling.

As a Buckeyes fan it had me nodding my head "YES".

As a parent, I could see my kids having done something like this.

My Walter Payton display. Approx. 35 items away from being complete.

The card is pure junk, but I think the Auto of Ed Sabol on the HoF admission card is kind of cool. I can't swear to the authenticity of the auto, but looks good.

You are welcome.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago in the 70's but was not a Bears fan.

We moved away but as I matured I grew to appreciate Walter Payton and became a Bears fan.

IMO, Payton was one of the greatest all around athletes ever to play the game.
