A big thank you to Jim (vintagefun)

So, I have talked to Jim via PM a number of times over the past year and have commented on a number of his threads. A couple weeks ago he fires me a PM and asks for my address to send me something for my collection. A few days later this arrives in the mail. I am a big 49er fan and having grown up in the SF Bay Area in the 80's it was awesome to watch those great 49er teams roll through the decade. Craig was one of my favorites as the high stepping RB who was one of the original dual threat RB's before handing the torch to Thurman Thomas, Marshall Faulk, LT (Tomlinson) and the current crop. Thanks Jim for the thoughtful gift!

Edited to add: he was even thoughtful enough to add a second autographed photo for my sonimage

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Steve - It was my pleasure. This board has been so kind to me with hookups for me or my kid, it's nice to pay it forward in some small way when I can.

    Glad you liked 'em.

    Great gesture and that is a great photo! Seems like Roger Craig has been a bit forgotten as the years have passed by, but he really was a stud. I can still picture those high leg kicks while churning down the field. I heard he learned that technique while playing at Nebraska.
