A Chicle a day through the end of May

[jefferyepayne]

Frankbmd posted some nice Chicle's today that have inspired me to start a new thread. Starting tomorrow, there are 36 days until the end of May, exactly the number of cards in the 1935 National Chicle football set. I'll post images of my Chicle's in order, one each day, starting tomorrow with card #1. I'm hoping you all will do that same as I'd love to see every card in raw, PSA, and SGC form. Feel free to mix in Chicle Premiums as well to keep it interesting.

Card #1 in the Chicle set is Dutch Clark. Dutch is a charter member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Check out this link for more info on Dutch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Clark

Me too. Some of the football techniques they describe are really dated so its interesting to learn how much the game has changed. Also, check out the weight of the players. They are mostly all quite light. Bronko will be one of the exceptions.

The article was really interesting also. Looking forward to card #2

Card #2 in the Chicle set is Bo Molenda. Bo has the distinction of playing professionally in three sports: football, basketball, baseball. Check out this link for more info on Bo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Molenda.

Sorry for the fuzzy scans. My scanner doesn't like graded cards much. I plan to fix this soon.
