    He only had 2 regular issue Topps cards (1971 and 1972) plus some other subset cards in those 2 years (ie: 1972 Topps In Action). Things have FINALLY settled down around here so I'll have more time to trade and will send you some of his cards. Speaking of more obscure NFL players, I just...

    Your precence is required in the RIP 2024 topic as an old Cowboy just passed away. Talk about the all time "should have been" player it was the former player who just passed. He should have been one of the Cowboy's all time greats

    Let me get some details on that from my brother who sends a lot of vintage in for grading and sets up at pretty big regional shows. I know he has done this quite a bit.

    Gently use a used dryer sheet on it. My brother said it works like a charm removing wax on the fronts.

    As a teen, I just LOVED the ABA! Their brand of basketball was so flashy and exciting, it really caught my imagination. Dunks, 3 pointers and fights, the way basketball should be played. The talent that came through that league was truly astounding. It was a guard and forward game as they...

    I live near Cooperstown and never go there. You live (not LIVED and did not go to Canton McKinley!) in Canton and don't go to the induction ceremonies. We both live near the wrong HOFs as I think you lean more towards baseball and I definately go more for football.

    I don''t think I've ever owned that error card despite owning a ton of sets and Griffey Jr. RCs! I never bought a pack of 1989 Upper Deck either because of the outrageous $1/pack cost so I sure wasn't going to pull one.

    I wonder if that is Kramer's college jersey with the number 68? Kramer is one of those guys like Steve Garvey that you just assumed was in the HOF until you looked it up and found he wasn't! He finally got inducted in 2015 only about 40 years too late. BTW, I haven't forgotten about your...

    Somebody stole Klu's shirt sleeve! Put out an APB or put a picture of them on a milk carton!! LOL I love how that guy went sleeveless to show off his arms.

    Where I come from Cody Bellinger is known as Clay Bellinger's kid since Clay grew up in Oneonta, NY whose high school was the arch rival to my high school. LOL

    I wonder how come this card is not listed as an UER since he went to Maryland State (an HBCU now known as Maryland Eastern Shore) and not the University of Maryland? Some of these collectors notice the most minute variations in a card but missed this obvious error!

    Great calls on both the 60s Pack and the 70s Dolphins. I think the thing that stuck out in my mind for the Raider and Cowboy O-lines was their sheer phycical size. Both teams had massive guards and tackles with kind of undersized centers. Upshaw and Shell looked just massive back then...

    Another HOF RC by Scobes! Those Raider o-lines of the late 60s and 70s are the one line that are in contention for the greatet Offensive line ever with those dominant Cowboy lines of the early-mid 90s. That is a tough call. THe Raiders had three HOFers on their line with Shell, Upshaw and...

    I knew Robinson had 586 hrs but I did not know how close he was to 3,000 hits until I looked it up just now. He fell short by less than 60 hits!!

    I' I would think it would have a lot to do with leverage since the pitchers were throwing more down hill which I would assume would enable them to throw harder. Plus, I would think that it would make it harder for hitters to pik up the ball as it would have more of a downward path. I know...

    THere is a player everyone seems to have forgotten about especially since the home run explosion of the late 90s. 586 home runs is quite the accomplishment with the higher mounds back then!
