The look/artwork of Goudey is definitely competitive with Chicle, but I think Grange, Thorpe, and Rockne are the only football cards. The presence of Babe Ruth alone scares me off on that set.

I agree with the challenge of the Sport Kings set. The Ruth cards go for a lot even in rough shape, as well as Ty Cobb. It would look nice, but I would find it monotonous to find a lot of the non-football and baseball athletes. The set would like quite nice when done.

My first pick up from a board member.

On my limited budget I usually have to be happy with getting a few cards at a time, here and there. Rarely do I get the opportunity to buy in "larger" quantities. But board member Mikehealer helped me out with doing just that. From him I acquired 26 1955 Bowman's, all in one shot. It doesn't get me close to finishing the set, but it does almost double the number of cards I now have.
I'm stoked!

Great pickup! I'm about halfway through the set through little odd purchases here and there. Mine is maybe Vg-Ex/Ex though. Yours look great! Good luck!!!

Thanks Sam! Good luck on your as well. I had a small stack of duplicates that I accumulated after upgrading some of mine, but they all got stolen out of my antique mall showcase over a year ago. I was NOT happy that day.

I've been thinking about starting the 1964 Kahn's set for some time now. I couldn't pass up the chance to start it off strong with the quarterback from my hometown team.

Nice looking Tarkenton and love the looks of the 55 Bowman lot.

Just picked these two cards up from a local card show. Plan to send them in to get graded. The backs are very clean on both cards. Hope to get at least a 5 or better. Funny how you can go looking for baseball cards and end up with football cards.

Those are very nice, especially the Baugh. Good luck with grading!
