For those who collect 1894 Mayo Football Cards and/or interested in the Yale Skull & Bones, you may get a kick out of an item from our Hinkey Archive recently posted on www.frankhinkey.com. Check it out!

Below is a direct link to our Vault page.

Cheers

Rev,

I've attached senior pics of William Graves and Samuel Morison. I don't think our mystery guy is either. I'm going to the Yale Archives later this summer to solve our mystery.

Full disclosure: These photos are not from my collection. They come from a beautiful 1891 Skull & Bones album available for purchase on Abebooks.com. Price is a bit steep though ($6500).

Cheers

Mark

Posted this in a Wheaties thread on the main forum but it got no love from the baseball guys. Recently turned over the items in my display case and made it all about vintage Wheaties football.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

That's a great display and some of those are really tough.

Thanks for checking my display out, Jason.

Yep, some of the Wheaties panels are really tough. I'm still missing a few that I've been searching for for almost a decade now.

Also trying to upgrade them all to full box backs that include the Wheaties tab at the bottom. That's pretty challenging too!

Beautiful collection Jeff! Those Wheaties cards are super tough. I really like the way you have them displayed too. What do you think about draping some black or brown felt over the cardboard boxes in back?

Curious...What is the football of on top?

That's exactly what I plan to do, Mark. Just haven't found the right material yet to do so. Also looking to get the glass shelf that belongs on the left put back in so I can use it when I want too.

The football isn't actually related to Wheaties. It's a Wilson Red Grange ball from 1920's signed and dated by Grange.







These footballs came in this box:
