Nice card Larry! - I think you got a good deal. RC in that condition for one of the all-time greats - I doubt that price would be possible on the baseball side of the hobby.

Thanks guys always fun to find that last card! I've been chasing that Nitschke on Ebay for awhile, it's not a rare card, but I guess it's popular among collectors:) For a price guide, I use the 2012 "Standard Catalog of Vintage Football" and it values this card at $80 in NM condition. I was looking for a "collector grade" example for about 20% of book and I think this dealers price was fair.
I'm experiencing the same thing as I try to complete my 1962 set, the cards aren't rare, but dealers don't have a problem selling them with a little "mark-up":) These last four 1962 Topps "black beauties" will complete my 1960s Topps run: #17 Ditka RC #36 Ernie Davis RC #88 Roman Gabriel RC #90 Fran Tarkenton RC Larry Quote:

1950 Bowmans
Just picked up some more 1950 Bowman's.
The Rote is a proof, which is pretty unique. http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=18035http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=18033 http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=18034http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=18032 |

Larry that's pretty crazy Nitschke had already played for 6 years before he got his first card. That would have been great if he had made the 57 set with all of the other rookies.

Clint: The standard catalog calls it his RC. Although "1st Topps card" might be a more accurate description:) I know about all the rookies in the 1957 Toops set, and I need two of them to complete my set #119 Starr and #151 Hornung.

Nearmint is showing a pre-rookie Nitschke - 61 Packers Lake to Lake. It seems so common for even star defensive players and OL to have their first major card several years later, I don't think about it that much anymore - lots of examples. Probably doesn't help that the football sets always seem to be relatively smaller the their baseball counterparts.

And that Lake to Lake Nitschke is pretty tough to get! jeff |
