The recent death of Frank Gifford reminded me of one of my favorite cards--Frank's Rookie in my 1952 Bowman Large set.

Card is #16 also, which just happens to be his NFL Giants uni #.

Never noticed that about his '52 card, Fred! Cool the card number is the same as his uniform. Here is my favorite Gifford:

Eric,
Is your entire '52 Large set in the same quality as the Gifford? That's sweet!

Jeff,
What an amazing card. Those bazooka cards were very prone to surface wear but your Gifford looks flawless. The cut is nice and even too. By chance would you have the Brown card as well? If so, would you post an image of it? That is one of the few non-mainstream cards that I would consider purchasing right now (along with the Bread for Health Baugh).

You mean these?





My Brown isn't in great shape but its passable. So is the Baugh. Tough cards.

I've always felt very fortunate that my alma mater has a pre-1910 football postcard. I have a blown up poster version hanging above my desk at work.

Casey- Much like my Happy Feller post above your Bronchos (yes everybody that is their correct spelling) caused great problems for my Henderson State Reddies back in the 1980's!

I remember a game in Edmond in 1983 when I swear the opening kickoff reached our goal line but the wind blew it back to the 20 where it hit one of our players in the back with the Bronchos recovering on their way to a 56-14 victory.

We did get some revenge in 1985 in the quarterfinals of the playoffs with a late 50 yard field goal to beat then top ranked Central State 18-15!
