I love the football cards! What grade are you collecting them in? I got a nice Bednarik sitting here if you want it!

What grade is your Jackie ?? You got the blue cap, right ??

Not mine. I found it on FeeBay. I had an AUTH ALTERED (trimmed) one that I sold on eBay and a nice PSA 4 that I sold at the Toronto Expo. I regretted selling the 4 and decided to buy myself another one from the REA Fall Auction! Thinking of getting myself another one cause' this card is so iconic!

Ha! We've chatted a bunch over the years, it was a bad attempt at humor. I'm tragically cheap, so the football cards are LOW grade across the board, I'm half hearted in them, but I picked up a pile at Strongsville last year for nothing so I thought I would chase it.

My Jackie is a 4, late print (blue cap) which was bought raw from an angry ex-wife of a card collector. I was nervous as hell until I got it in, after noticing the hat details were missing, I started to research the printing plate variations, which became the basis of the book. Iconic is 100% right!
