Made me start thinking about football cards. Joe, Elway, Marino - these guys are immortal, it just shocks me how thier cards aren't just on fire all the time.
I watched Jordan play from his freshman year at UNC until the end. Great player never disliked him. But when I watched Magic and Larry go against him many times, I never turned off the game thinking he was that much better than either, if at all. It was darn close. BUt Larry and Magic are kind of after thoughts in the Card world, which is just amazing to me.
Lebron and Kobe, same thing -- great players. But when you watched them neither was a outstanding shooter. Lebron is a weak rebounder considering his size. Neither were tremendous passers. But people fawn over them. Im not so sure the Steph Curry isn't better than both. Bird and Magic were definitely better. They just made the other players so much better. LEbron and Kobe just made themselves look good.
Just my opinions

Whenever you think about football cards it makes you want to discuss basketball players. Got it.
A gembryo is the early developmental stage of a perfect card.
sometimes UNO cards or go fish cards
The Magic Bird RC has gained a lot of value in the past few years I think. The Star stuff has gained a lot of value too. 1981 Topps Basketball was real cheap not long ago. Now the prices are much higher.
I think there's just a ton of early 80s Topps Football.
Lebron is #4 on the career assists list. Kobe shot every time he got the ball.
that was my era of football growing up: joe, elway, marino, kelly, moon, boomer, cunningam etc.
Brady is my favorite now, but those will all be titans in my mind
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
