I checked out the PSA Registry too, nice cards. I don't know anything about Gino Cappelletti except what I just read on Wikipedia. How come he started out and played his early years in the Canadian Leagues? He seemed to post all pro statistics once he joined the AFL Patriots.

My guess is he wasn't drafted by the NFL and went to the CFL to continue playing. There were quite a few really good players in the AFL that were either undrafted or the NFL had given up on them.

Blanda is a great example. He had already retired from the NFL as Halas told him he wasn't going to be the QB any longer and he got tired of just kicking for the Bears. All he did was lead the Houston Oilers to the first two AFL Championships and win the MVP!
