Any exhibit football card color variations (blue, pink, yellow, green, red). It's like that girl in the white t bird in American Graffiti...I've seen her, but haven't met her...

You and me both, brother. Spent all week at the National asking about these and did not see one. I have a green ink card but no colored stock variations. Really wish I'd pulled the trigger on a pair I saw a few nationals ago for $400 each.

Joe, I missed that damned Thorpe by less than an hour.

There's a little bit more to the story Adam...

A guy from California had some PET cigarette cards listed on Ebay and I was interested in several of them. I contacted him directly and we exchanged several emails. I then asked if he had any other similar cards hoping for maybe a few Kopecs... When he said yes and sent me a scan of a Capitol Candy card I asked if he had others. I remember reading about this issue based on the 1912 Olympics years ago and it was speculated that a Jim Thorpe could exist. He then proceeded with sending several scans and the last scan was Jim Thorpe. We then came to an agreement on price for the group but he would only complete the transaction through a BIN on Ebay. You can't imagine how anxious I was thinking someone could hit this BIN before I do once he lists it... Anyways, I ended up with it and I still believe its the only one known to exist.

I have a Butch Byrd matchbook from 1965--hoping to find other players and years from 1965-1968 (Lincoln, Stratton, Burnett, Kemp).

But I guess my white whales are 65 Topps Namath, and a few toughies from the 1963 Fleer set (Alworth, Buoniconti, Dawson).

Wow, very cool card. I am a Thorpe fan, and I have never seen that card before.

I got a Unitas RC on Ebay thats PSA 3.5


FYI: if anyone is looking for a nice 35 Bronko Nag...someone on PSA is selling a very NICE one (that looks like a 5) but graded a psa 1.5 (due to paperloss on the back) 4k

Always have ogled a 65 Namath from a far....A far cry from what I'll spend.

I also have my 65 Namath RC up on Ebay too! with many other RC's.
Just getting out of the whole FB thing.
I was referred to use Prostein if they not sell.
