Funny you mentioned pasting cards in a scrapebook.

I did the same thing with a 76 Topps Set! I pasted the cards onto sheets of notebook paper and had the in a binder that they wouldn't even fit in hardly!

Yes the Walter Payton too. I had them for quite a long time before I eventual trashed them after trying to remove them years later. No they were not coming off that paper after the glue job I put to them when I was 12 years old.

I know many(if not most) people view OJ Simpson as a monster and with disgust(Maybe rightfully so) But he was the greatest back from the decade(Maybe all-time). His Superstar power made him a football hero to many young boys at the time and his fame and popularity was second to none.

He had Power, size and breakaway speed and that combination made him an absolute beast and a strong argument can be made that he was the greatest back ever.

Its amazing how money, power, greed and fame can devour a human being.
Its a shame his brilliant career will always be over shadowed by his failures as a human being later in life.
