Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it.
I heard that bear story before. What I read is that is that Roy Lumpkin basically got in trouble for cutting class the season GT won that Rose Bowl, so he decided to turn pro before camp started the next season - he wanted to take his friend with him, but the other guy wanted to stay and take care of his Bear! (Some of this may be off - it was a while ago). So no one collects these matchbooks? Specifically, all the 32 Portsmouth Spartans cards have orange numbers, but I believe they wore purple and gold. I saw one Redskins player with orange numbers and one Dodgers player with an orange stripe on the uniform. My theory is they colorized black and white pictures without regard for the colors matching their real life counterparts. It actually hadn't dawned on me the colors may be off at first - but I just felt like I was seeing too much orange. Last edited by TanksAndSpartans; 02-07-2015 at 08:59 AM. |

I am slowly working on all of the football matchbooks out there including not only the Diamond ones but the Redskin sets. There are also sets for the Colts (one of the few AAFC sets of any kind available), Houston Oilers, etc, plus individual ones of players like Grange, Nagurski, etc. Here are a few. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() jeff |
