Picked up this large image of HOFer Fats Henry recently.

That is a great photo of Fats Henry! Congrats.

Here’s an uncommon photo of the 1893 Princeton Championship Football Team. This photo contains all but one (Morse) of the Princeton players featured on the 1894 Mayo Cut Plug card set.

Nice snag, Mark! Between this photo and the Yale album you posted a bit ago, you are on a major roll.

Congrats on picking up some fantastic items.

Jeff,

Thanks, but I’m done collecting. Or at least that is what I’ve been telling myself (and my wife) for the last five years.

Congrats again on the Henry. It looks kinda familiar :-)

Cheers.

Anytime you wanna truly stop collecting and start selling, you just let me know, Mark! Fantastic stuff.

And yes, recognized the Fats Henry from our previous conversations. Happy to have him now and hope you got something awesome for him.

Haven't posted anything here for a bit but have four things to share.

1890 Harvard National Champs. Photo includes Marshall Newell, 4x All-American.


1898 Harvard National Champs.


1930s Old Gold Cigarettes Ad Display piece featuring Red Grange.


Not technically PRE-war but close. 1943 Ohio State ink blotter showing Coach Paul Brown and a very early image of Pro Football HOFer and early African-American Pro Bill Willis.
