1981 Shell Oil...
that's one of my scrappy 620 boards...
I'm still looking for more info on my Inflatable Butkus...
All I know is that I got it from my Godfather around 74-75ish; I'm thinking it's from a Jewel Grocery Store promotion or my Godfather stole it from some bar on the South Side...
My daughter today reminded me about my sports cards that I forgot all about. 30 lbs. worth.
Mean Joe Green
Rodger Staubach
Eric Dickerson
And lets not forget the Bengals, 1126 receiving yards totaled by Christopher Collinsworth in 1983, card.
Inside the container I found the very first, Colorado, Rockies, baseball card.
The card describes why this team was added and how it was installed. Not a player insight 1991
awesome posts. did you buy 86F packs when they first came out?
I did but I had no clue of the siginifcance of what they were at the time. My intro in card collecting was around 86-88 with
86 Fleer BKB
86 Topps FB
87 Topps BB
and Hockey (not sure 86 or 87, it was Ron Hextall/Luc Robitaille rc year)
i kind of lucked out because there where two stores that sold cards nearby, one across the street from my school that had everything but basketball and then a Cumberland Farms near where I lived about a 10-15 minute walk away from the school that had basketball and a few oddball stuff.
Only one of the 5-6 kids from my class that were into cards liked basketball cards so I never had to worry about the others scooping up all of the 86F packs before me and that one kid that did collect them ended up trading all of his basketball cards for all of my hockey stuff plus some football stuff. Thats how I ended up with so many Jordans plus all of the other stars too.
It was weird though because I remember CF having 86 Fleer BKB for a couple years then they had a ton of 88 Fleer BKB but I don't remember ever buying a single pack of 87. That 87 Mj above came from a card shop a year or later.
at least we still have cumberland farms
its my go to coffee place if I happen to be out and about that time of day

That specific CF is long gone by now. i haven't been by that way in years but it changed names at least 5-10x since back in those days and my last stop in it nothing more than coffee, cigarettes, candy & lottery tickets IIRC ( or is it IRC😜?)
I had another go-to across the street with a White Hen pantry. End of the week I'd go collect all of my paper route tips, swing into CF for a few basketball packs then hit WHP for a ham & cheese on a bulkie roll, bag of Wise chips and a fountain drink all for under $5. Definitely good times but these days i'd have to sell a kidney to cover those same items lol.

Google says WHP are now out of business and the last ones were eventually rebranded as 7-11 stores. That's a shame, they were one of the few places where you'd order a sandwich and everything got sliced up fresh, right in front of you.

And lets not forget the Bengals, 1126 receiving yards totaled by Christopher Collinsworth in 1983, card.
Inside the container I found the very first, Colorado, Rockies, baseball card.
The card describes why this team was added and how it was installed. Not a player insight 1991

Scanning the local Craigs List and saw a 1971 Tudor basketball game, Did not know this was made.
@BLUEJAYWAY
I didn't know that Tudor made a Basketball 🏀 one...
I did do a Basketball search over on the Tudor Forum, and No Luck...
I knew that Cadaco made a Basketball 🏀 game...though it was not Cadaco's best productions...
I know that I posted up some Cadaco All Star Baseball ⚾ on page 1 or 2 here in this topic...
👍👍
The Tudor basketball game was from 1961. Wrong date on my part.
No worries...on the wrong years...
👍👍
I'm gonna try to talk to my Tudor guys 🔌🏈 and see what kind of info I can get on that Tudor Basketball 🏀🏀🏀
My question is on that Tudor Basketball: How would you make your guys Pick N Roll ???
Anytime that I get a chance to type over on the Tudor Forum; I'll type: If my Guards are Pullin' & Curlin' I'm having a Good Day...
or have Dwight White Hook-In...
Maybe a new basketball version could include a Lebron flop?
there was a white hen on 109 in dedham my dad always bought his smokes , newspaper and daily number at . It is no longer a white hen , now im wondering if there are any of those left
