I collect Gino Cappelletti, so all my favorite AFL items are of him. Here is a 1967 Caprolan Nylon premium:

Fantastic premium, Dan! Have never seen that one before.
There are a few oddball AFL card sets out there from the 60's. Here are some. 1960 7-Eleven Dallas Texans. These were distributed by 7-Elevens in the Dallas area. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/al...Q=w671-h925-no 1961 Golden Tulip Chargers. These were inserted in Golden Tulip potato chip bags. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/rO...g=w330-h475-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/mI...w=w320-h472-no As the backs show, if you send it five cards of the same player, you can get a picture of a player sent to you. I only have one of these premiums. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/To...A=w741-h925-no 1960s Fairmont Dairy Kansas City Chiefs. These cards were distributed from approx 1963-1969 on Fairmont Dairy milk cartons. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/D-...w=w543-h373-no 1967 Royal Castle Dolphins.

My collection is actually quite small now. Less than 2,000 cards, and not a lot of memorabilia. I've reduced by probably 90% in sheer quantity over the last few years. That said, what I kept was either nice and/or meaningful to me.

A handful of signed cards...

Those Parilli autos reminded me of this card I got signed when I met the man less than a year before he passed.

I recently bought a 1964 Topps Patriots team card signed by Babe Parilli. I just stuck it in the mail to Gino Cappelletti. I'd love to have a nice team card with both of those guys on it.
Nice Pats cards, Dan! @Jeff - I really like both of those Flores pics also! |
