Default What's #1 on your football want list?

There was a thread like this years ago but time for an update.

What football card is at the top of your want list right now?

Any exhibit football card color variations (blue, pink, yellow, green, red). It's like that girl in the white t bird in American Graffiti...I've seen her, but haven't met her...

#1 for me is probably a Pottsville Maroons RPPC of Tony Latone ... the only card of a player who SHOULD be in the HOF.

I got a Unitas RC on Ebay thats PSA 3.5


FYI: if anyone is looking for a nice 35 Bronko Nag...someone on PSA is selling a very NICE one (that looks like a 5) but graded a psa 1.5 (due to paperloss on the back) 4k

Yeah Bradshaw and the Joe Mean Greene were the couple back then. I only got those in PSA 6's The red color on the card is attractive But got a OJ in a 8.

I mainly collect vintage baseball. I'm originally from WI and am a big Packer fan, so it would be a Bart Star RC. For a modern card I once saw a Starr, Favre, Rodgers card autographed by all three. That would be right up there too.

I already have a Rodgers, Favre dual auto that's one of my favorite cards.

Right now mine is a 1950 Bowman Marion Motley. I have other collecting priorities right now, so this will probably wait until 2016.

Jim Thorpe Olympic card would be mine.

Or a 28 Grange Star Player Candy.

Other than that, programs, postcards, ticket stubs and uncut sheets. I'm narrowing my collection down.

You and me both, brother. Spent all week at the National asking about these and did not see one. I have a green ink card but no colored stock variations. Really wish I'd pulled the trigger on a pair I saw a few nationals ago for $400 each.

Joe, I missed that damned Thorpe by less than an hour.

There's a little bit more to the story Adam...

A guy from California had some PET cigarette cards listed on Ebay and I was interested in several of them. I contacted him directly and we exchanged several emails. I then asked if he had any other similar cards hoping for maybe a few Kopecs... When he said yes and sent me a scan of a Capitol Candy card I asked if he had others. I remember reading about this issue based on the 1912 Olympics years ago and it was speculated that a Jim Thorpe could exist. He then proceeded with sending several scans and the last scan was Jim Thorpe. We then came to an agreement on price for the group but he would only complete the transaction through a BIN on Ebay. You can't imagine how anxious I was thinking someone could hit this BIN before I do once he lists it... Anyways, I ended up with it and I still believe its the only one known to exist.

Default Mid-1960s Buffalo Bills matchbooks

I have a Butch Byrd matchbook from 1965--hoping to find other players and years from 1965-1968 (Lincoln, Stratton, Burnett, Kemp).

But I guess my white whales are 65 Topps Namath, and a few toughies from the 1963 Fleer set (Alworth, Buoniconti, Dawson).

Small world! How's that feel, to have me saving a scan of your card for the last four or five years?

Anytime you care to part with that bad boy, just give me a call and name a price.

That's why it's been on the top of my want list for five years! Cool card, and it's not even mine, just like a picture of an old girlfriend you carry around in your wallet, or in this case a girl you just saw a picture of in a magazine.

This should be read to that " Your Beautiful" song.

I would like to acquire a 1977 Topps Mexican Steve Largent, but that card is out of my price range. My number 2 most wanted is a 1952 Bowman Large Charley Conerly for my set.

Brent, I thought you were predominately a boxing collector. Why the sudden interest in football and especially Thorpe?

As a "huge" Largent collector, I can second how tough the Mexi Largent is, especially in like PSA 8

Brent has a really nice football collection. I had no idea he had that Thorpe card, I just had the scan of it saved and its a weekly look for on ebay. Etc. I always thought I got the scan from Adam W., but perhaps Brent himself posted in on LTS?

#1 on my want list? A lot of you already know: 1969 Eskimo pie Dale Livingston/Gino cappelletti. Either version will do in almost any condition.
