New FB Acquisitions

[Peter_Spaeth]

For my NFL 100 (list published by the league) set. Well, NFL 97 because three players on it from the 30s don't have any contemporaneous cards. I am down to one, a National Chicle Dutch Clark.

Happy to have this as a type, from the BST. One of my older football items, not that many cards pre-dating.

Gale Sayers with the Slit B notation. I am not 100% sure who the other Slit marked cards are in 1969 but there will be 1 more from series 1 and 2 from series 2.

Not usually a pink fan but I think this is one of Sayers' better looking cards so I am happy to have an excuse to add a second 69 Sayers to my collection.

92 of 100 down for my base set. O'Brien made the College Hall of Fame the year this was issued, and won the Heisman in 1938, the first Heisman winner to reach the NFL. He retired after only 3 years and I'm not sure why.

One of the worst AA's I've seen. Barely PSA Auth

What is this? Never seen before.

It is a T49, a tough issue. There are 20 cards, picturing a generic student of a university, often in a sport pose. There's only a handful or so of each subject known. 17 were catalogued by the time of Bob Forbes' book in 1999. The Yale football card here was one of the 3 only discovered to exist a few years ago. The 20 we now know matches the back text, so the set is presumably completely catalogued finally. Not that valuable or anything, but a tough T type.

Almost done with the world's cheapest purple sky complete set

I recently picked up this signed Emmitt Thomas 1976 Topps card.

Two new Goal Line Art cards. My goal is to get another 10-12 next year.

Very cool White Shoes!

Being a petty Lions fan, I won't buy the Chicle and want a good copy of the 1935 Diamond Match for a Dutch RC in my collection.

I just get far too annoyed at the UER on that card that he plays for the Eagles. It's blasphemous, lol.

I found this 5 x 7 aerial photo of the 1920 Yale-Harvard game. I cannot find out anything about "Bell Keough", the company with the legend in the caption. Anyone seen one of these before? Value?

Bell Keough is the man who took the picture, I think, rather than a company. ^ A book with the attribution, and reproducing this photo.

Now that's interesting. I still think it is a company name.

Pickup a couple of great Brownie fullbacks. Jim Brown of the Browns completes my 1963 Topps basic set, with 1 card to go for the master (Bob Lilly with the Purple Sky). Marion Motley puts me at 112/144 for the 1951 Bowman's. I love the big team logo icons they put on the football issue that year, sometimes they distract from the main image but for some reason NFL team logos were much more intricate than baseball ones of the period. The 50s and 60s football are fun for being so very cheap to build on the side of my focus projects, only a handful of cards will cost me even $50.
