In the mid/late 80s through early 90s my brother and I used to set up at Cooperstown during induction weekend. The year Slaughter was inducted we sold some of his cards to his daughter. I had to look up the year he went in and it was 1985 and sure enough he had 4 daughters. Which one bought cards from us I have no idea but it was pretty cool.

Not as impressive of a brush with greatness as me living in Dick Shiner's hometown for a short time but pretty cool nonetheless.
Better it was Dick Shiner and not Dick Slaughter! lmao

Brush with greatness? Trying not to look up what show that bit was from! Letterman? The ol' synapses don't quite connect as they used to.....

Crazy how you could find cards being sold, literally, anywhere then! I tried selling some SEC players' cards 25 per bag with 1 auto in each at a garage sale here a few years ago. I think I ended up with 8 or 9 team bags for $5 a piece. I sold NONE! You know the clientel at most garage sales... but mixed in are Grandma's looking for nickel deals. I thought they would at least buy one or two for their grandchildren. Not even close! lol
Grocery stores even had cards. I remember the Albertson's in Grand Prairie had a good selection in the early-mid 90's. And Hy-Vee in Liberty, MO had 'em too. There were 3 shops in GP and 4 that I remember in Liberty, but to find some from a street vendor would be pretty sweet now-a-days!
 
Taking a page outta Hodee's book... how 'bout a week of non-Cowboys cards? I'm not too happy with their performance yesterday... to say the least!
Andre Reed '00 Topps Finest Finest Moments Refractor
View attachment 112162
I had no idea Andre Reed was #2 in career receptions at one time. The 841st catch passed Art Monk's 840 for #2 on the all time career receptions list.

To show how much the game has changed in the last 25 years, Reed now stands in 22nd place on the all time receptions list. Football has turned into pinball which makes statistics meaningless any more.

And to add insult to injury, Grand Parairie's own (by way of Dalworth High) Charley Taylor, who was once the NFL's all time reception leader, now stands at #76 on the all time list.

Finally gettin to some good stuff then? 😁
Ha! I may have to extend it into 2 weeks depending on their effort against Green Bay! You-know-who is gunna be hyped like we've never seen. And if CeeDee's ankle isn't healed enough The Cowboys have no chance at a win. The only guy I saw yesterday that looked like he was trying to win was Javonta Williams. Fergie tried, but he's no Witten. As soon as he made a catch he was tackled... and don't get me started on the defense!! This hangover may last a while. You can tell Jerry's desperate now. Picking up Clowney for some reason... I didn't even know he was still playing!!

So what you are saying is Dandy Don Meredith's words hold true for the Cowboys all these years later?

 
Here is a pickup for today:

Bryce Harper 2025 Topps Finest Uncommon Magenta Refractor 050/300 Phillies #116 - Picture 1 of 2
 
That might be the case... start getting used to this phrase, "Manning... to Lamb... Touchdown!!"
I don't think I'd want Manning from what I can see. Sure he dominated Sam Houston State but struggled mightily against UTEP with 10 straight incompletions at one point. I think the hype is all about his last name or he would have started last year, if not the last two years. Note Bryce Underwood the #1 recruit in the nation this year started right off the get for Michigan, against Oklahoma on the road no less.. That is what the top recruit in the country is supposed to do.
 
U know Jerry Jones, though... if there's a chance his release can be fixed I really think Arch is on his way to Dallas. Whether it works, we will see. Young Oline, young coach, young WR's/TE's, old QB...

I think you may be right. Jerry will go for Manning cuz that's the kind of fool he is, condemning the Cowboys to yet another decade of mediocrity. Y'all seem to forget that Arch is Cooper's son, not Peyton's and not Eli's. Maybe Coop could have been a force if not for his injury. It's a small sample size, but Arch doesn't wow me, or anybody else for that matter. But hey, Cowboys fans, go for the shiny bauble.

Yes, I know he's not Peyton or Eli's son... being a Manning and playing with that name on his back in the NFL will hopefully drive him to be the Manning people think of 50 years from now, though. Peyton, Eli, Cooper and Gramps probably want that for him too. I believe it's against NCAA rules to have an ex-NFL player personally coach a college player, but once in the NFL, Arch will have a few of the best QBs teaching him.
