Thanks Dan. I actually started my collecting 'career' collecting college football programs - I love much of the cover artwork. Would like to see some of those early ND programs you have.

Here they are. I actually picked up that Nebraska v ND program for $1 at a tag sale.

A $1 for the Nebraska?? Wow. That program would fetch a pretty penny..$500+. The Navy program too would fetch a nice price.

Great pickups Dan! Never been lucky enough to find such a steal in my travels but I'll keep looking....

I don't know if this is my favorite pick-up for the year....but I'm pretty excited about it...just unpacked it a week ago...I'm still sorting it out just what I have...but I'm thinking it's one of the most important cycling broadsides extant...on either side of the pond...I found a reference to this race and learned he came in third...must have been a bad hair day...Another reference on him said Dubois came to the United States the following year after this race...along with a group of other cyclist...and raced here...

Aside from being for a big name cyclist..some important aspects of the poster are that it's dated...and the race was in England, thus in English so we can read it...as opposed to being in French...Also this photo doesn't do it justice...In person it's not tan...it's a mustard yellow with black type...so a real eye catcher!!
