Great Maroons program with "World Champions" right on it!
I thought of them recently when the Cardinals lost - since the Cards did win a title in 47, I don't think you can exactly call it a curse, but its a pretty long drought.... |

The curse is actually from the early 60s when Pottsville first tried to get the NFL to reinstatement them as at least co-champs and the Bidwell's led the effort to block it. Curse still in effect! jeff |

Thanks Jeff P. - its crazy, but I found myself rooting against the Cardinals because of the Maroons - I'm not even 100% on the side that the Maroons should get the title (I do feel they were the best team of the season though) - I'd be ok with something like "1925 - no title awarded" in the record books.
And this may be confusing in terms of names, but Jeff wanted to say glad you started posting - does your collecting of tickets and programs have a particular team or era focus? Last edited by TanksAndSpartans; 02-01-2016 at 12:38 PM. |

I don't understand why it's such a big deal to them. The original owner of the Cards (Chris O'Brien) didn't even want the championship and turned it down as he said they hadn't won it on the field. Therefore I root for the curse and hope their team never wins! I'm thinking about doing an article on the curse for Gridiron Greats sometime in the coming year. Been thinking about it ever since it became clear the Cards would be one of the favorites to go to the SB this year. Gotta finish up a couple of others first, though! jeff Last edited by jefferyepayne; 02-01-2016 at 03:08 PM. |

Hi John (Dez) I have no particular rhyme nor reason, I just love the stuff from the 20's, especially the defunct teams.
Great Pottsville talk on the board tonight. This is really exciting to finally get on this board and connect with others. What is your collecting area ? |

I started out with just picking up some HOF rookies and reading about NFL history, and that somehow evolved into working on the 35 Chicle set which I really love, but doesn't keep me that busy with only a few cards left to go and so few mid-grade auctions recently. I'm not sure where I'll go next collecting-wise - often my interests and budget don't match up that well Last edited by TanksAndSpartans; 02-02-2016 at 07:01 AM. |

I agree with the budget statement, John. That is why I try to stay as focused on the 1920's as possible. If I stray then I am in trouble. I have a few Spartans items, I will post a few.
