I HAD to get this. Seen the cards around for a bit but nothing I wanted, until I saw this one. I'm impressed with the card-stock and the photo. I figured it would be a desk-jet printed card... I was way wrong. Great card!
From the '93 or '94 season...

Maybe a weeks worth of Beatles? Found these at an antique store....B&W were $3 each, color were $2....guess I've spent more on worse things! But still a fun pick up for me....
1964 Topps
So I read somewhere that the Beatles set cane about due to a contractual issue with MLB which ended up delaying the 64 Topps Baseball set.

Can't be 1994 because Gogan did not play for them that year. 1993 is probably the correct answer.

Ya I meant '92 or '93... hard telling... I thought Harper might be able to tell me, but he started almost every game in '92 and '93. The line is exactly the same too. Either way... that photo epitomizes greatness.
 
My mother was born in 1941, and thought the Beatles might have been in her music wheelhouse, but she was not a fan! My grandfather was in a barber shop quartet way back when, curious as to what he would have thought.....when the grandkids get in to their own kind of music, I'll be more than happy to tell them how awful it is!

A major part of the greatest offensive lines I ever saw along with the 1990's Cowboys one. 3 Hall of Famers (Shell, Upshaw, Otto) and for a short time a 4th one (Bob Brown in his last years). Both the Raiders and the Cowboys had massive guards and tackles and comparitively smallish centers in Otto and Stepnoski. For me it is a real coin flip on which line was the greatest. Raiders get the nod for number of HOFers (3 or 4 to 1) and longevity but the Cowboys get the edge for sheer dominance. Coin flip for me.

Funny how times have changed. Shell is listed at 265 lbs on this card which would be way too small to play O-line these days. But he looked massive back in the day.

I know he was the first Black head coach in the modern NFL era but I'lll always view him as the dominant offensive tackle on those great Raiders teams. Kind of hard to view him any other way after watching him kick the crap out of my Chiefs year after year. What a great player he was!!!

Don't forget the Dolphins o-line of the 70's - Jim Langer, Larry Little and Bob Kuechenberg. Kuech is up yet again on the Hall ballot and certainly deserves enshrineemnt.

And of course the Pack in the 60's with Forrest Gregg, Jerry Kramer, Fuzzy Thurston and Jim Ringo (til he fell out with Lombardi).
