The Walt Garrison commercials were for Skoal same as Earl Campbell. I have an autographed Skoal can from Garrison that a friend got for me at a trade show in the 1980s.

Even though I started collecting in 1975, I prefer the 60s sets as well. I just think the 1960s was a classic time to collect sports cards. That being said, those sets from the mid 70s just remind me of being a boy again and collecting because you loved to collect, not because of the perceived value of a card.
A very unique item you have, an autographed Skoal container. I wonder how many people can say they have that item in their collection?
