Very cool White Shoes!

Being a petty Lions fan, I won't buy the Chicle and want a good copy of the 1935 Diamond Match for a Dutch RC in my collection.

I just get far too annoyed at the UER on that card that he plays for the Eagles. It's blasphemous, lol.

I found this 5 x 7 aerial photo of the 1920 Yale-Harvard game. I cannot find out anything about "Bell Keough", the company with the legend in the caption. Anyone seen one of these before? Value?

Bell Keough is the man who took the picture, I think, rather than a company. ^ A book with the attribution, and reproducing this photo.

Now that's interesting. I still think it is a company name.

Pickup a couple of great Brownie fullbacks. Jim Brown of the Browns completes my 1963 Topps basic set, with 1 card to go for the master (Bob Lilly with the Purple Sky). Marion Motley puts me at 112/144 for the 1951 Bowman's. I love the big team logo icons they put on the football issue that year, sometimes they distract from the main image but for some reason NFL team logos were much more intricate than baseball ones of the period. The 50s and 60s football are fun for being so very cheap to build on the side of my focus projects, only a handful of cards will cost me even $50.

Completed my 61 set with these pickups the last couple weeks. I had a Maynard already but it looks EX-MT and doesn't fit with my shoebox set, so I had to downgrade. Not always easy to find the second series in lower grades, the AFL card must have been late in the year since it seems not many really got handled much unlike the NFL cards. Really like the design, and while there are a number of star rookies, none of the cards cost much. Only 2 cards went over $20 and none over $30. The $'s to fun ratio is hard to beat for 50's-70's football
