Decorated Marine Eddie LeBaron served in Korea in 1951. Bronze Star with V decoration for Valor and Purple Heart. He was a rifleman that was constantly deployed to the front. Honorably discharged in 1952 for completing service requirements and because of injuries sustained in combat. Another true bad-ass from our U.S. military that played in the NFL....

Woah! What is with you and the vintage? Vintage before even I was born. Now that's VINTAGE! LMAO

He was only 5'7" to boot. In your book an important factoid on him was he was an original Cowboy...........their first starting QB as a matter of fact. Which mesn that LeBaron and the legendary Jerry Tubbs had that in common.

Gotta keep the collection a little eclectic.... I tend to forget there are football cards pre-1960 at times!! And I've got a few LeBaron cards in Cowboys uniform but for the military pc I wanted one closer to his time in service. Guess I'll have to get something of Staubach in his Navy football uniform and Chad Hennings in his Air Force football uniform... although I do have something cooler than a card from Captain Hennings!

Check for cards of a Hall of Fame defensive tackle for the Steelers in the 1950s and early 60s named Ernie Stautner.. He was one of the few good players the Steelers had back then. He was actually born in Germany (talk about a guy who looked like Herman The German! ) and fought in the Battle of Okinawa at age 20. I thought he was a paratrooper but can't swear to that. He was a long time defensive coach (defensive line and defensive coordinator)for the Cowboys from 1966 thru 1988 and is credited with devising the famous Doomsday Defense.

Speaking of Ernie Stautner and the Dallas Cowboy's defense, the current Cowboys could use a little Ernie Stautner. Check that.............make that A LOT of Ernie Stautner!!

I'll look, but he would not be a paratrooper if he served on Okinawa. Likely a Marine.... Paratroopers were in Europe in the newly formed Army Air Force.

Saw a bunch of his cards.... found one to bid on.... hopefully I can show it off in a few weeks!

Thanks, brother!!

Thought I might have a '56 to trade you, but it turns out the double I have is LeBaron, not Stautner.

Technically, this is not my card, (but i work for the World Series champion Brewers so my rule breaking can be forgiven at least this time😆😆) we had a bunch of these sell on consignment and everytime i see 1964 Coke hockey cards on the pick list, this song and jingle rattle around in my brain the rest of the day.

You are correct Kirby because you being the major reason the Pilots/Brewers won after 57 years of futility allows you to not only break the rules but write them as well.

1969 thru 2025. No Kirby, no World Series titles. 2026 Kirby joins the club, Pilots/Brewers win the World Series. I'm sensing a pattern here.

That is a cool item!!! I know very little about hockey but you just don't see hockey cards from the 1960s very often at all. Throw in the fact that it is a food issue and those have to be really rare. Do you have any idea what that would book for?
 
The Brewers did go to the World Series in '82.........."Bambi's Bangers" or something like that...........
Yes they did make it in 82. If Rollie Fingers would have been healthy, they more than likely win...but alas, the cards pulled it out and went again 2 more times in the next 5 years only to see the Royals and Twins beat them in 7. Crazy to think it would be another 17 years to make it back and 19 years to win again
