Last month, we told you about the Hunt-Casterline Collection of high-grade and rare vintage football cards set to go on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
A
ctually, it’s about 1,000 cards in all—about three percent of what Dan Hunt and Robert Casterline put together in the span of only a few years.
The duo, who obviously have some deep pockets, went on a buying spree that lasted until they owned virtually all of the best copies of what are considered the best football cards in existence—and more.
They cited the disparity in value between the best rookie cards in baseball compared to their football counterparts and felt the NFL players represented good value for their investment dollars.
They landed some cards that have soared in price since they began buying about four years ago.
The rest of us get to see the best of their collection beginning late this month when the cards go on display in Canton, just in time for the start of the football season.
Sports Day caught up with the pair for this story.
