There may have been some outstanding passing performances during the first week of the 2020 season but no one has ever had a better opening day than Norm Van Brocklin.  Even in an era when most passing records are being set, broken and then broken again, what “The Dutchman” did on September 28, 1951 still hasn’t been touched.  He’s a Hall of Famer, but it’s worth … [Read more...] about Norm Van Brocklin Football Cards Recall Still Standing NFL Passing Record

Packs of Sports Cards Were Once a Grocery Enticement

December 10, 2019 By Rich Mueller

Ever since tobacco companies used them as collectible package stiffeners for fragile boxes of cigarettes, baseball cards have been inserted into consumer products.  They've been in smokes, soda, snack cakes and razor blades--just to name a few.  Sometimes, though, the promotion went between their traditional home inside bubble gum card packs and the food products that … [Read more...] about Packs of Sports Cards Were Once a Grocery Enticement

Vintage Pack Facts: 1954 Bowman Football

February 27, 2019 By Rich Mueller

In the mid-1950s, the NFL was still a few years away from becoming a growing juggernaut.  It did have a football card contract, though.  Bowman Gum had a run of success that would soon come to an end but the Philadelphia-based gum maker was the name of the game to kids who followed pro football and names like Tittle, Layne, Groza and Gifford.

November 11, 2018 By Rich Mueller

One of the best things about collecting sports memorabilia is that you don’t have to be wealthy to own things that have great stories behind them.  Sure, it’s nice to be able to afford a high-grade Mickey Mantle rookie card or one of Ty Cobb’s old bats but even decades-old relics can sometimes be acquired for a pretty modest investment.  If you know sports history, … [Read more...] about Editor’s Blog: At Quarterback for the 49ers, Number 16…Arnie Galiffa?
