One of the many things I love about collecting vintage football is the descriptive bios on the back of the cards. Here is one of my favorites:
1954 Bowman Otto Graham
sorry about the scratches on the case!
What a time capsule cards can be...really a piece of history. Before I left teaching to become an A.D., I used to bring in some of the cards and read them to my students when discussing the social history of the differant eras. I.E. use of "Negro" on 1940's cards, descriptions of players who were active in military service during war years, hairstyles like Riggins in the 70's etc. etc.
I would be interested to see what some of your favorite or some cardbacks that you find to be nteresting.
