I noticed Topps came out with a 100 "card" x/50 insert set this year. Helmar also has some silks out. I started looking into some of the vinatge sets like S74. They seem pretty rare, but not much demand either.

Yup. I have a few. Pacific football made them back in the 90's. I forget what year. They were really quite nice.

I know they were jumbo sized but can't recall the exact dimensions

I'd like to start a pre-war silk set one of these days...all I have at this point is...

I've been looking at building this Murad Cigarettes set:

Here's a site I found. Lots of silk sets listed. I'll rip some pics out of there later. The Murad is the S22 set. Link

Love the Purdue silks. I noticed the used the same stock poses for the Murad set, only changed the college names.

These are pretty cool...

These are very cool if you have a favorite college team and sport.

I used to bid on Hockey silks a couple years back, I never won one but the guy that always did must hate me. He would have been able to get them for much less $$$ if I wasn't trying to nab one.

Love that Minnisota

Actually I like them all when it comes to the real early ones.

Hey Blackborder, how you gonna be loggin me out all the time, huh. Why you gotta be like that.

Some S6 bird silks on ebay.

Those birds are cool. Where's the Florida Seagull silk? If they had one, it would should some dumb tourists feeding them and they return the favor by taking a dump on them as they fly off

I've seen that happen a few times on the beach
