New FB Acquisitions

[cardsagain74]

In the last month, I decided to go for a more complete post-war vintage football collection (to go with the '71 set I mentioned above)

Got a mid-grade '60 set b/c I like the footballs on the front and I still needed a Jim Brown, Sam Huff, and a few others from that era. And the cost is reasonable.

Then my favorite football set from a little further back: a '50 Bowman. It's low grade but presentable, and I love the backgrounds (especially the Tittle rookie).

Those three sets, along with the '81, '84, '86, and '89 (score) that I still need to find some commons/minors for, are gonna make a great complement to my baseball and basketball stuff, and covers everything pigskin that I ever hoped to have

A small pickup, $2.17 shipped, but it finishes my 1970 set. Still looking for a Calvin Hill Name in Black variation, but the basic is complete. Love the 70's football sets

I added a few more for my 1968 collection:





And a 1955:



Plus this one, which I think is a great image

Beautiful '68s. I sooooo want to find me a nice starter lot to go with the thirty or so I have and start that set in earnest.

That Krause is one of my favorites, really respected him as a player, and a great card.

You guys pull out some great stuff.

I cannot believe it took almost 20 years for Krause to make the HOF. The all-time leader in interceptions, still.

Thank you for this card Sidepocket on net54. Merlin Olsen is was not only a fabulous football player but starred in one of my favorites "little house" which I watched avidly as a kid. Love this card and so glad to have it. Will pass down to my grandson for sure as I always try to catalog cards and express the meaning of them. Does anyone else do this? Cards are meant to be enjoyed and shared and I am so proud to have had a opportunity to get this card. I seen it and thought ………..hey this is Jonathan Garvey on Little house....


Ok sorry to ramble.
