Getting close to finishing 61, 62, 63 and 67. Checklists are boring but nice to cross off. Tittle was a local guy, so he's always a preferred pickup for me.

Why did Y. A. Tittle wear his helmet in so many card sets, and often he was the only player in the whole set that wore his helmet ?
Does anybody know ?

Like the '50 RCs, but Love the '51's with the team "championship" logo.

My understanding is that he didn't like the fact that he was bald ...

Thanks for your answer.
He definitely was bald.

Very bald. He could have worn a turtle-neck sweater and gone trick or treating as roll-on deodorant.

Thanks, you've been a great crowd. Enjoy REO Speedwagon.

Picked this one up of Pete Pihos recently on the cheap. Gonna try to get a few more of the old timers throughout the year.

It's the Goal Line Art card set. Came out in about 1989 and went till 2016. The idea was to be the football equivalent of the Perez Steele. They're great for getting autographs on.
