Love the GOTG on card autos. Simple design with big bold auto you always know who you're looking at. I actually got this one just last week...

OH VERY NICE!!!!!

My favorite all time football team were the late 60s/early 70s Chiefs. My absolute favorite players were 1) Otis Taylor, 2) willie Lanier and 3) Bobby Bell but I get great joy seeing anything from those teams! What an awesome card you have there!!

I don't get jealous over other people's cards but in this case..........................I AM JEALOUS!!!

How many HoF did they have? Dawson, Bell, Buchanan, Robinson, Stenerud, plus Otis Taylor and Jim Tyrer who are perennially on the Senior Committee ballot. (Tyrer would have gotten in years ago if not for the murder-suicide, which we now understand was likely due to severe CTE). And Coach Stram, and owner Hunt. Am I missing anyone?

Wow! Good list off the top of your head.! The only one I can think of that you missed was Emmitt Thomas. Ed Budde should be in. I don't think we've frgotten anybody between the two of us.

One of my most prized........not valuable..........cards is one with Fred "The Hammer" Williamson auto on it. I couldn't tell you the year of the brand of the card but it is his certified autograph. He was one of the first players that caught my attention as a kid with his flamboyance and smack talking which was pretty much non existant back then. I distinctly remember a picture of him in Life magazine sitting in a restaurant with a pile of chicken bones on his plate with him grinning. Obviously that was a staged photo but he wasn't some "ignant" big mouth. This guy was a Nothwestern grad with a degree in architecture and all his pre Super Bowl antics were pre planned like a pro wrestling promo. Throw in his post football acting career and he certainly was no dim wit.
