Me too. Some of the football techniques they describe are really dated so its interesting to learn how much the game has changed. Also, check out the weight of the players. They are mostly all quite light. Bronko will be one of the exceptions.

The article was really interesting also. Looking forward to card #2

Card #2 in the Chicle set is Bo Molenda. Bo has the distinction of playing professionally in three sports: football, basketball, baseball. Check out this link for more info on Bo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Molenda.

Sorry for the fuzzy scans. My scanner doesn't like graded cards much. I plan to fix this soon.

Great cards, if you figure out how to fix the scanner please post that as well

From reading other threads, it sound like scanners with CCD technology are much better at reducing the glare caused by graded card cases. I'm going to look into getting one of these. It sound like they run between $100 - $200. Cannon is one brand recommended by N54 members.

I'll edit and repost the Bo Molenda scans once I track one of these down next week. Been planning to get a "real" scanner for a while now so now I have a good excuse.
