Very cool stuff! Do you have a list of all U of Tx players who have been on a card / matchbook / bread label / premium prior to 1970? How many of those do you have and what are you missing?

Jeff,

I do have a working list. It is quite limited for early UT stuff. I've had to be happy with picking up year books form 1898-1935. Ox Emerson has a few matchbooks. I lot of the UT guys played baseball as well so I have that option but... I think it's cheating.

Have you considered seeking out vintage photos for some of the players that don't have cards?

Looks like there are at least 32 different cards of Bobby Layne. Have you started collecting these yet?

That would be a fun player run to do.

Jeff,

I have most of those. I'm a bit confused about the 3 '48L's? I've only ever known of two. I need the 1960 Kahns, the exhibit, bread label, and the bazooka.

The regular issue stuff was pretty easy to obtain. His legacy seems to be fading. It's a shame. How many of these guys today could pound a six pack minutes before a game and then decimate their opponents?

Know one seems to talk about the curse that he put on Detroit. It's been 50 years and counting...

Matt great stuff you have. Layne is one I collect also. Only two 48 Leafs that I'm aware of, the link Jeff provided has a 49 Leaf to go with the 2 '48's.

Here's my Layne Bazooka.
