New FB Acquisitions

Nice pick up! My first one was Ben Ciccone. Amazing to think they used to drop kick FGs and PATs (no holder). I think Dutch Clark was the last of the drop kickers although Strong himself kicked as late as 47! I'm guessing he abandoned the drop kick when the shape of the ball changed..... And too bad Chicle couldn't have squeezed in some mention of the Sneakers game - guy was basically the MVP of the previous season's championship game and they couldn't manage to make some mention of it on his football card

Drop kicks are cool. Apparently Doug Flutie had been bugging Bill Belichick forever to let him do one. Here's the result:

P.S. Still have a stack of Chicle doubles for those interested in working on this set.

A friend of mine wrote an article about Giants kickers

The funny thing is this guy and I were corresponding for probably a year about NY Giants history when we realized we lived in the same town - and now he's my yoga teacher too - he's a research scientist by day, yoga teacher by night, Giants fan full time.

Flutie drop kick, it's soooooo GOOD! Look at that score too, down by 6 in the 4th quarter. It wasn't a blowout, but if memory serves it was the last game of the regular season. Love it, thanks Jeff.

What they don't show in this clip is Belichick jumping around with a big smile on his face. He obviously enjoyed the moment too.

Nice pick ups Mike! Great condition. With Blood having no cards, a matchbook is on my want list too. Is the Hinkle a bobtail? Does that bother you? Seems like they can be more affordable that way.

Love those Johnny B and Hinkle items, Mike!

Another Johnny B item you might want to go after is his Walkers Cleaners, John.
