Outstanding. Probably my favorite FB set with my all-time favorite player-- Mr. Football, Johnny U. I also like the Blanda card-- as a kid I thought he looked like Goober Pyle--and how can you not enjoy some of those campy poses and ancient equipment. Well done and congrats.

That's a great collecting achievement, but it sounds like the real value was in the experiences you shared with your son over the years.
Congrats to both of you and good luck in finding a nice pack as a companion piece. If it's not any trouble, please post the original artwork if you have a image available.

This is awesome.
In around 1988 my Dad bought me a complete set (raw of course) minus the Sherman errors and checklists from House of Cards in Maryland. It was a beautiful set and I've had a bunch of the cards graded. Many 8s, 7s and 6s. Over the years I've worked on upgrades (my Dad died many years ago) but I still don't have a graded set anywhere near yours. I still have every original card he gave me -- whether upgraded or not. I love that you've put it together with your son. That's what collecting is all about. Well done.

Thank you all! Yes, it has been really such a great journey with my son, and JimC hearing your story I hope my son keeps (and maybe even improves!) the set once he is older. The artwork is in the bottom right of the photo I posted, but it is hard to see. I'll try to post that (and the sheet) soon!

Very cool, congrats. I think that is the best football set, with all the rookies. And I love that you did it with your son.

Congratulations! Beautiful set. For us set collectors, the joy is truly in the journey, and I'm sure that it is especially sweet that you were able to share it with your son.

Extra cool when you accomplish a collecting goal with your son (or daughter would be fun too).
Congratulations!
