Vintage football was once apart of my collection. But my love is always with baseball and there are too many baseball cards I want Not enough money to collect both. |

I'm most knowledgeable and interested in baseball memorabilia, but also follow football and other sports memorabilia. One thing that is appealing about about vintage football memorabilia is the popularity of college teams. |

I started working on the 1955 Bowman set about a month ago. Just love how the set looks and the cards are pretty affordable in decent grade. |

I used to have a fair number National Chickle and 1949 Bowman football in the 1980s, but with my limited budget now I am strictly a baseball card guy now. The closest thing to a vintage football card I have now is m101-5 Thorpe. |

As a boy collected Football. No longer do. However I love those 1950 Bowmans. I follow the game, Giants fan , love the playoffs. But Baseball is the greater passion..Baseball has that LONG season. It makes the game unique!! |

I only collect baseball memorabilia. I have an autographed T Shirt framed in my office, that was worn under Alan Page's jersey during one of our Super Bowl losses. I got it from his wife at a charity function, put on by the Alan Page Foundation. I started on the high school varsity football team, and had Viking season tickets for 8 years. But because of the recent antics of some of our players, owner and coach, I have no interst in ever attending another game, or collecting any football items. I have one Sam Huff card left over from my child hood. That's it, and there won't be any more. Baseball is what I love. Baseball is what I collect. |

I do not collect Football memorabilia, but follow the sport of today rather closely. I'm a baseball kind of a guy, always have been and always will be. |

I do not collect football cards/memorabilia and have little to no interest in professional football today. I thoroughly enjoy college football. I must admit for a few years when I was in grad school in Wisconsin I got into the Packers. But that has faded. |

I love football. I love to watch football. I will watch the worst football game over the best baseball game any day of the week. Football has replaced baseball as the national pastime. That is a fact. |

Super Bowl weekend is the end of the baseball offseason, in my opinion. I could never get into football (and really continue to dislike football) for several reasons: |

Hopefully with all of these people in town for the game, they will all take home a souvenir Detroit Lions player. Just leave the few that show up each weekend. |

My problem with the NFL is not the game itself, but some networks presentation of the games. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can live without cartoon expoloding scoreboards, and Terminator sound effects when a score is put on the screen. Two decent announcers and the game is enough. |

Jeff- As a Lions fan myself, your message brought about a big laugh. But you forgot the real villains, Messrs. Ford Sr. and Jr. and Matt Millen, the biggest GM failure in recent memory. In professional sports, successes and failures ALL come from the top of each organization. |

lol. I liked the Lions comment too. I am a huge fan of Billy Ford (Jr.) - have been ever since he started climbing through the ranks at Ford Motor in a race to the top w/his cousin Edsel. As CEO I think he has been refreshingly conscientious in considering environmental and human issues while doing a good job of running the company in general. |

Perhaps the biggest reason the Packers won their 1997 Super Bowl was GM Ron Wolf. When he traded a 2nd round pick for an Atlanta Falcolns backup quarterback (Brett Favre), more than a few Wisconsin sports writers and announcers that Wolf was nuts. It was considered a coup when Wolf signed Reggie White, as White was the most coveted defensive player in the NFL and he could have gone anywhere he wanted. Many thought there was no way the Southerner White would go to a small market in Wisconsin, in part because White has expressed a desire to go to a big city with a large minority population. |

As a kid I collected quite a bit of football. Now It's mostly baseball except for a few Baltimore Colts items and some Unitas cards. |

For me, the only significance of the Super Bowl is that it signals to me that pitchers and catcher report in about 2 more weeks. |

Growing up in a football only city, (Buffalo, NY) I only collected football as a kid. Not quite vintage, I own 6 sets (in stages of completion from complete to almost) from 1961- 1967. I plan on adding to the collection any chance I get. I also plan on working backward from 1963 to 55 to have complete sets from 1955 to 1969. SOmeday anyways. joe |
