These two cards arrived today via eBay completing my 1953 Bowman football set

Lynn Chandnois All American at Michigan and a US Navy Vet played seven years for the Steelers. This SP card " books" for $75 in NM condition.

Frank Gifford of course passed away this past August. All American at USC. During a 1960 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, he was knocked out by Chuck Bednarik on a passing play, suffering a severe head injury. He was out of action for 18 months. After his death, an autopsy on his brain revealed that he lived with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a disease closely related to repeated head trauma. This SP cards "books" for $250 in NM condition.

Wow Photo-Bucket was working tonight so I could reduce the size of the scans!
