Nice additions Matt! Keep 'em coming. BTW ... how the hell you been?

<< Warren was such an underrated player, and Williams turned to selling drugs. Nice finds Matt, both of those have edges that look like they chip easily. >>

Yep, I agree about Warren. He was very solid. I'm happy with the grades and the best part was the cards only cost like $3.00 each lol.

Thanks Doug! Been busy working. It's monsoon season down here. Been raining so much and multiple times per day. It's hard to get things done but I'm getting it.

The newest addition to the set, Marion Barber Score Glossy SB XLIII /250. This completes Marion Barber's tenure with the team (2005-2010) so I'm happy to add it. It only cost me $6.99 delivered so I couldn't go wrong.

I'm also happy to report that Marion Barber never went to jail lol

<< I'm also happy to report that Marion Barber never went to jail >>

....yet.

Great looking card!

lawnmowerman · July 29, 2015 6:30AM

Right lol!

lawnmowerman · August 10, 2015 9:23AM

The price was right on this 9 and I couldn't pass it up for $6.00.

DanBessette · August 10, 2015 12:01PM

Pearson looks like somebody, but I can't figure who

Today's addition to the set, 1985 Topps Tony Dorsett. Also picked up a nice 1994 Stadium Club member's only Emmitt from Lee. Nice card to add to my Emmitt collection.

yankeeno7 · August 27, 2015 11:40AM

Nice job, Elmer!

LarkinCollector · August 27, 2015 10:27PM

<< Also picked up a nice 1994 Stadium Club member's only Emmitt from Lee. >>

Nice cards and Lee is good people. Just not good enough for here apparently

lawnmowerman · August 27, 2015 10:58PM

Thanks fellas. It's been slow progress lately but I'm beginning to pick up steam. Football season is giving me the itch to get back into buying again. Unless it's this rash that just won't go away? I'm not sure

I agree Kyle. Lee's a good dude.

DanBessette · August 29, 2015 5:13AM

That Dorsett is a black beauty for sure! But who's the bum on the other card? Never heard of him.

Not sure. I think some has been, dancing with the stars contestant?

lawnmowerman · September 3, 2015 7:27AM

Picked up another Stadium Club Members Only card. The seller listed it for $4.99 so I just had to hit it. Not needed for the project but fits nicely into my Emmitt set.

LarkinCollector · September 3, 2015 7:42AM

Ridiculously cheap, nice pickup!

Motorized · September 3, 2015 8:01AM

This thread and collection is actually quite cool. Ya gotta though get rid of the cards that have that 'Dallas Cowboys' stuff on 'em. eeeeech.

lawnmowerman · September 3, 2015 8:15AM

<< Ridiculously cheap, nice pickup! >>

Thanks and I agree. I was shocked when i saw the price.

lawnmowerman · September 14, 2015 1:39AM

I'm excited about this one. Herschel Walker didn't have a mainstream, 1986 NFL card (his first year with Dallas) due to playing for the New Jersey Generals of the USFL from 83-85. I was watching this one for awhile and when it went on sale, I could not resist

FavreFan1971 · September 14, 2015 1:42AM

Love the McDonalds cards too.

DanBessette · September 14, 2015 2:09AM

Matt, that's a really cool looking card. Like Troy, I love the McDonald's cards (although I don't love storing all those oversized slabs).

You know what I'm gonna say next: you now need to get this card in 3 more colors: blue, black and orange!! I find it curious that the pop report says 19 green Walkers have been graded, but none of the other colors. As far as I know, all players were issued in 4 colors, including Hannah, Tippett, and any HOFers or stars I've ever searched for. Dorsett has been graded in all 4 colors, and Timmy Newsome in 3. But those pop numbers are odd. I wonder if Walker was a rare exception, only issued in one color? Maybe somebody can chime in.

I just checked Beckett. It does list Walker as having the other three colors but I personally have never seen any of them. I also find it curious that Beckett has a pic of the green in their database but no pics of the other three colors. I'm sure that's due to rarity. Just not sure what makes them rare.

Dboneesq · September 14, 2015 2:31AM

Nice pick up Matt. (Last night's game SUCKED!!!!!! How many times are the Jints going to allow him to go down field at the end of a game as if there were no defensive players on the field?)

lawnmowerman · September 14, 2015 2:56AM

Thanks Doug! Romo did make it look too easy on that last drive. It pretty much looked like a 2 minute drill during practice lol.

FavreFan1971 · September 14, 2015 3:16AM

Walker was a late addition to the promotion and was only ever produced with the green color tab that isn't a scratch off.

DanBessette · September 14, 2015 3:40AM

<< Walker was a late addition to the promotion and was only ever produced with the green color tab that isn't a scratch off. >>

Oh ok, I had noticed that the tab also looked different than most I've seen. Thanks for the info!

Matt, it looks like your Walker a"rainbow" is complete after all.

Lol Dan

Thanks for saving me many hours of fruitless searching Troy

yankeeno7 · September 14, 2015 5:32AM

Your Stadium Club Members Only Gary Coleman is outstanding.

And congrats on the McDonald's pickup. I love those cards.

lawnmowerman · September 21, 2015 8:12AM

Happy to add this sweet Perkins to the set. Also, a nicel 1960 Dick Bielski.

Stone193 · September 21, 2015 8:15AM

Hiya Matt

I do like the McD card!

Yesterday, Mary and I watched the game - was painful to see.

Always good see your additions to the largest type set at CU!

edit: very nice Perkins Matt! Also the Bielski which is before my time watching FB.

lawnmowerman · September 21, 2015 8:16AM

Thanks Mike! I agree. It was a tough seeing Romo get knocked out but I think the D is going to be special this year. I'm hoping the D will carry them till Romo and Dez return

LarkinCollector · September 21, 2015 8:56AM

<< Happy to add this sweet Perkins to the set. Also, a nicel 1960 Dick Bielski. >>

One of those looks pretty familiar. Nice pickups!

DanBessette · September 21, 2015 10:21AM

I love when this thread updates. You need to tell Tonya to give you more play money!

Tell me more about Bielski. Card calls him an end, but he qualifies for your backfield project. Kinda cool.

I dig old Philly cards!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Dan, Bielski was a versatile player just like Cappelletti. During his career he played fullback, tight end and placekicker. He was mostly used a tight end with the Cowboys but also played the fb position.

Another 1994 Member's Only card. This time it was only $3.99

lawnmowerman · October 6, 2015 7:56AM

Another Stadium Club addition.

lawnmowerman · October 22, 2015 7:10AM

Today's mail. A nice 1978 Topps Robert Newhouse. This guy was known for his gigantic thighs measuring in at 44"! Aka, The House and The Human Bowling Ball lol

DanBessette · October 22, 2015 7:38AM

So all you need to be good at football is gigantic thighs? I missed my calling!

Sorry Dan. You also need a huge fro. Looks like you're out of luck.

Stone193 · October 22, 2015 8:10AM

That's a stunning Newhouse Matt!

It's hard to find centered gems like that.

Wonder if it's harder to get a concussion with a "fro" like that under the helmet?
