nice Brown rookie.. i picked one up last summer ungraded.. corners aren't near as nice.. prolly grade about 3.5-4 i'd assume.

Thanks, guys. I don't do too much in football, figured a nice Brown RC would be a good start......

Cannot do better than that: Brown is the Michael Jordan of FB as far as I am concerned. I finished my run of regular issue Topps/Fleer/Phila. Brown cards recently. Need a 1961 IA to finish the regular issue Topps run as far as I want to take it. Still working on the Kahn's, team issues, and Carlings [though at their sizes I may not bother].

I have the entire run of Bowman's for George Taliaferro's career, autographed. George was the first African American drafted by the NFL. I enjoy the look on his face on the 48 Leaf rookie.

I don't think my last attempt to post went through - operator error I'm sure. Here is my George Taliaferro autograph collection. It consists of each of his Bowman cards for his career. I love the look on his face on the 48 Leaf rookie. George was the first African American drafted by the NFL.

OK, got a recent purchase of obscure cards for my player collections, at a great price. But there's a bit of a mystery. Don't know if anybody here can help, but I know we have some oddball kings and some Pats fans, so I figured I'd try. First, here are scans of the cards:




I know these are both from Frito Lay Patriots sets (obviously) but I don't know what year(s) and neither did the seller. The Frito Pats sets are blank backed, so no help there. Hannah's and Tippett's careers only overlapped from 1982-86. According to the Beckett big book, this is the breakdown by year.

1982: Hannah only and this isn't that one, which I already have.
1983: no set
1984: no set
1985: neither player
1986: Tippett only

So it appears there are 3 possibilities:
1. These are from the same year and checklists are incorrect
2. There really were Frito sets in 1983 & 84
3. They are from different years

If #3 and the checklists are correct/complete, then the Tippett is from the 86 set and Hannah is from a different year. The Beckett checklists include him in 1976, 79 and 81. Probably boring to most of you, but I'm hoping to get to the bottom of this. I've emailed Mike Mosier at Columbia City Collectibles and hoping he'll chime in.
