I'll buy all sorts of things if they catch my eye, and the price is right.</p><p>A while ago, I was at my local card show, at a mostly non-sport dealer that I often buy things from, when another collector that I knew stopped by.

(I was looking to see if he had tobacco size sheets.)</div><div><br /></div><div>As I was paying the dealer, whether it was because of the lighting, or whether it was because the card was in a card saver, and looked smaller than I expected it to, I thought I spotted a long desired card in his showcase.</div><div><br /></div><div>I could have sworn the card was a 1975 Topps Mini Gary Carter rookie card. I own the Topps and O-Pee-Chee versions, but need to add the mini.</div><div><br /></div><div>I paid the dealer for it, thinking it was the mini. The dealer thought it was the mini, and it was sitting pretty close to a Dave Winfield mini so there was at least one mini in his showcase. But when I went to add the card to the rest of my purchases, I realized it was a regular sized card. Oops.</div><div><br /></div><div>The dealer was good about it, because he fell into my line of thinking that it was the mini. When we held the card up next to a regular card, we laughed about it and he refunded my money.</div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe next time.</div><div><br /></div><div>After that, Greg drove us back to Buffalo Wild Wings where we always have our post-show dinner together. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, I knew I was going to the show during a Browns game, but I really didn't expect them to stay close to the 49ers. At the show, I heard one dealer tell another that the 49ers had scored a touchdown minutes into the game, and that fed into my confirmation bias.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't check my phone for the score until we got to Buffalo Wild Wings, and then was surprised that it was 10-10 halfway through the third quarter.</div><div><br /></div><div>From then on, I was splitting my attention between Greg, the game, and eventually dinner.</div><div><br /></div><div>There was a little bit (okay, a lot) of emotion swings at the end of the game. The Browns may have benefitted from a couple of calls that went their way (a rarity), but I watched the 49ers finally move the ball in the second half, and get into field goal range. I was shocked to see the field goal miss. That never seems to happen in favor of the Browns.</div><div><br /></div><div>The surprise win made for a happy Angus on the two hour drive home.</div><div><br /></div><div>Greg, thanks again for doing the driving between Watertown and Syracuse. I had a great time, and can't wait until we get to do it again.</div><div><br /></div></div></div>Angushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11652380890985105416noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218724241472957668.post-15613408781490990472023-10-14T14:45:00.001-04:002023-10-14T14:47:31.489-04:00Catching up with my collection - 9<p> Continuing on with cards from 2017, which will include another rookie Quarterback.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknr8VrTHFaWUNz0C1VBEMxjDep7iqHqv8rGVdRaiwfIuqjuCvXEbht_W7GPZCF44j3q2sZAerVOpjhOK7cwbUW251a4aPEm2NncxtWHF0XmuodpqLslpiw3UKz4x03ouwsO0HGe8DEhRK6-LDLmGP100DxZ04-mtRl7y7DXqRs4vmQfOQUvsuXXJOukNf/s1882/IMG_20231008_010211.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1319" data-original-width="1882" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknr8VrTHFaWUNz0C1VBEMxjDep7iqHqv8rGVdRaiwfIuqjuCvXEbht_W7GPZCF44j3q2sZAerVOpjhOK7cwbUW251a4aPEm2NncxtWHF0XmuodpqLslpiw3UKz4x03ouwsO0HGe8DEhRK6-LDLmGP100DxZ04-mtRl7y7DXqRs4vmQfOQUvsuXXJOukNf/w640-h448/IMG_20231008_010211.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Two autographs of rookies in this photo.</div><div><br /></div><div>The card on the left is of Caleb Brantley, a Defensive Tackle that was drafted out of Florida in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

I remember buying quite a bit of it, hoping to pull one of the Jim Brown autograph cards, but had no success. I enjoyed the action shots of Jim Brown that they used on his cards.</div><div><br /></div><div>Over the years, I've seen stories about Jim Brown either talking about various Browns running backs, or about Jim Brown talking with those running backs. One common item in these stories seemed to be Brown telling the running backs that they shouldn't be running out of bounds with the ball. From what I have heard, he didn't like doing that, he would always try for the extra yards. If one of his carries was going to end with him going out of bounds, it would be because he was pushed out by the defense. As I said, I I'll have to assume that is how he played.</div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCz_5vIKzkK9Pl8r-rWLdq3jkW2Qcw_84HrX0lrXtqmhAzMOzIp4rkLYMAuzkis475AtIUzNtPcohfIlCF35cIjuPVqI48NTSWBtqtMzzNMe2ItURet-j9cp6ZgplrPUU9GECTKzEvAQ7K1KnrWeUu_r5PB65d78jwkBsYUi90aOEeVkqhMmttO4gkOA/s350/3211-30Fr.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="250" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCz_5vIKzkK9Pl8r-rWLdq3jkW2Qcw_84HrX0lrXtqmhAzMOzIp4rkLYMAuzkis475AtIUzNtPcohfIlCF35cIjuPVqI48NTSWBtqtMzzNMe2ItURet-j9cp6ZgplrPUU9GECTKzEvAQ7K1KnrWeUu_r5PB65d78jwkBsYUi90aOEeVkqhMmttO4gkOA/w458-h640/3211-30Fr.jpg" width="458" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This 1964 Philadelphia card is probably my favorite card from Jim Brown's playing career. There is a great article from <a href="https://sportscollectorsdigest.com/cards/1964-champion-browns-football-cards">Sports Collectors Digest</a> that talks about Brown's pink Cadillac in the background of the card.</div><div><br /></div><div>One common thing that I've read or heard about Jim Brown's career was about his durability. He didn't miss a game while playing for the Browns.</div><div><br /></div><div>Many defensive players have told stories about how after they tackled Jim Brown hard, he would be slow to get up, and would limp back to the huddle. They thought they may have dinged him up, and that he might be slowed down from the tackle. Then they would tell how he would take the next carry, blow through the defense, and score a touchdown, not looking affected in the least by their tackle.</div><div><br /></div><div>During the NFL Network's tributes, I believe it was Rich Eisen who related a story about Merlin Olsen, about asking him what player he hit the hardest during his career. To summarize the story, Olsen claims he hit Jim Brown the hardest during one of his carries, and was sure that he would get up to see Brown still down on the ground, only to get himself up and see that Brown had continued on with his rush and scored a touchdown.</div><div><br /></div><div>Teammates said that they never saw Jim Brown in the training room being treated for anything. Stories came out after his career that he would show up really early in the day, and be treated before anyone else showed up for the day. He kept the mystique that he was never hurt. </div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS37gIG-Cjzn-h6SGnoAVSq4v-bzRiU8Wk_-zFWndoESpcRRCghJlZ1_3SwAEB5i4M6C21tb1OsK5Ja45mhtiNMYIR2TS97u3QKl06aTaPwNoreb1UbsESRjm7JrL9vTouqmJFqsbY9cahXwAY5PDBXwFF4zyWRrUVfRir-GLz1i2VJzmYkiKl-iyyFA/s350/36852-3751776RepFr.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="251" data-original-width="350" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS37gIG-Cjzn-h6SGnoAVSq4v-bzRiU8Wk_-zFWndoESpcRRCghJlZ1_3SwAEB5i4M6C21tb1OsK5Ja45mhtiNMYIR2TS97u3QKl06aTaPwNoreb1UbsESRjm7JrL9vTouqmJFqsbY9cahXwAY5PDBXwFF4zyWRrUVfRir-GLz1i2VJzmYkiKl-iyyFA/w640-h458/36852-3751776RepFr.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div>The only relic card I own of Jim Brown is a stadium seat card like this one. It is really a Municipal Stadium relic, not a Jim Brown one. I don't own any cards with his autograph either. Eventually I will have to add one to my collection.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a kid, I had heard of Jim Brown, and knew that he was a football player, but I first saw him as an actor in The Dirty Dozen, watching it on tv with my dad. At the time, I didn't know that filming going into training camp, and Art Modell going to fine him for every day that he was late was what caused him to retire early from his football career.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've always claimed that his role of Jefferson in The Dirty Dozen showed what a good actor that Jim Brown was. Jefferson was cut down by a hail of machine gun bullets. Jim Brown wouldn't have been.</div><div><br /></div><div>To be serious though, I don't recall any Jim Brown acting roles that I disliked, although that could be because I haven't seen all his roles, and because I also enjoy cheezy guest spots on tv shows and the like.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jim Brown had two roles in movies that I saw, and loved, during their release in the theaters. He was Fireball in The Running Man, and I knew that he wasn't going to beat Arnie, the protagonist of the movie. </div><div><br /></div><div>My favorite Jim Brown role, though, has to be as the retired boxer/casino greeter in Mars Attacks! I loved seeing him cracking the Martians helmets as he fought with them, and being swarmed by them during the movie.</div><div><br /></div><div>I really don't know what to say about Jim Brown as a person. He had some incidents where he lost his temper that I don't know enough about to comment on. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also only really know the basics of his activism, and I am very grateful that he dedicated so much of himself to his beliefs.</div><div><br /></div><div>I appreciate that he pulled together so many great black athletes to support Muhammad Ali. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm happy to hear of the time he spent in the south letting Black business owners of the Black Economic Union that he had founded to help provide opportunities and aid to minority owned businesses.</div><div><br /></div><div>There was also his founding of Amer-I-Can, which helped gang members and prisoners learn life skills, to try and turn them away from trouble in their lives. And his bringing gang leaders to his house, neutral territory, to figure out how to proceed without violence and trouble.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jim Brown was not just a great football player, but a great man who lived by and acted on his own convictions. The world is a poorer place without him in it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rest in Peace.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Angushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11652380890985105416noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218724241472957668.post-4516586327793465012023-05-19T14:12:00.003-04:002023-05-19T15:53:53.792-04:00Catching up with my collection - 1<p>Last year I made many purchases for my Browns collection, and they have mostly been sitting in a box, waiting for me to insert them into my collection.</p><p>I had pretty much added most of the base, insert and parallel cards to their binders, but various autograph and memorabilia cards still need to be dealt with.</p><p>I'm hopefully going to set up a series of posts showing these cards before I add them to their proper spots in the collection.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmkVXhlAXsi0uDel1Yh0wjOv4O8OLPRjZMeNK_DeEndCFssP-ERfEKf9hcvUK6p2SesDQMWj-FvB-3aAZOnsgdpMH_ziJqlYduUlUtvMh0hHXG2kXiqKqoLLo6Ob0klkOwzDWA2nFJCJlRFGqHofIWX2yNA6pyXTSAsr46ZR3kPLJK-xWtNx9ujmgPVw/s2827/IMG_20230517_230659.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2827" data-original-width="2156" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmkVXhlAXsi0uDel1Yh0wjOv4O8OLPRjZMeNK_DeEndCFssP-ERfEKf9hcvUK6p2SesDQMWj-FvB-3aAZOnsgdpMH_ziJqlYduUlUtvMh0hHXG2kXiqKqoLLo6Ob0klkOwzDWA2nFJCJlRFGqHofIWX2yNA6pyXTSAsr46ZR3kPLJK-xWtNx9ujmgPVw/w488-h640/IMG_20230517_230659.jpg" width="488" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0lxKvlhFUHfvwI8JmW30rb1o9TRYhZI-azR2dwpmn9nFS1bPpLyRjH7tswH-pOyug1qf1H16tBQEOFzmRdw0VcIdQcxIwKPgptI1VdrlEbEbuEzzGrSzOFXS5I7iUHdq9_BjtYIlOqjH8JBMBKimo6x_oeNLG8UfHVsAjZAqinJnpklP_NQF8VFZew/s2787/IMG_20230517_230731.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2087" data-original-width="2787" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0lxKvlhFUHfvwI8JmW30rb1o9TRYhZI-azR2dwpmn9nFS1bPpLyRjH7tswH-pOyug1qf1H16tBQEOFzmRdw0VcIdQcxIwKPgptI1VdrlEbEbuEzzGrSzOFXS5I7iUHdq9_BjtYIlOqjH8JBMBKimo6x_oeNLG8UfHVsAjZAqinJnpklP_NQF8VFZew/w640-h480/IMG_20230517_230731.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I really liked the first couple of years of Pro Line cards.

In the top card, you can even feel the slight rounding of the helmet piece. Even though it says helmet on it, this Tim Couch card is listed as part of the Gridiron Heritage Jerseys insert set from the 2003 Playoff Prestige set on the Trading Card Database, and is numbered out of 100 like the card in the insert set. I don't know if this means there is a jersey card to look for from this set as well, but no matter, I think the helmet piece is much cooler than another jersey swatch.</div><div><br /></div><div>The bottom card is interesting. It is from the Sunday Showdown insert set in the 2003 Flair set, and William Green shares the card with future Brown Jamal Lewis. You can see the arrow pointing to where Green's swatch is, and the same area on the other half is a grey circle that isn't cut out. There is a a dual memorabilia card that these two share, and there is a solo Lewis card that would have his swatch, but not Green's.

Hopefully it will give me something to talk about after the next local show.</p><p>A third dealer's table was busy, so I really didn't look through much of his stuff but said hi, and said I'll chat with him more next show.</p><p>When I got to the fourth dealer's table, he was happy to see me. He is the biggest football fan/collector/dealer among them, and we often trade cards with each other.</p><p>He smiled, and told me that he had picked up some Browns cards for me at a show that he went to in Toronto. He passed me a small stack of cards and told me that he got them for a good deal, along with some other football cards for his collection.</p><p>Here is what was in that stack of cards.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjdp6nzGXbpEo69FReWu1SjHSbXkwKgux02NbYOPTgxt50k9Bhy7Txf21H1AFh50Pd8tVyGY5Y5l2YCx4CP_Rf4WFWhvUySg1zjHGt2g-BUsuYCfTId3Gk5Agrhyhr3j6bxu3NjPtdu7XUuJYz7fyRSBTV573lnhbjloWKIR1eLGRve-Na09Ymm2ESw/s2543/IMG_20230514_162543.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2543" data-original-width="1461" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjdp6nzGXbpEo69FReWu1SjHSbXkwKgux02NbYOPTgxt50k9Bhy7Txf21H1AFh50Pd8tVyGY5Y5l2YCx4CP_Rf4WFWhvUySg1zjHGt2g-BUsuYCfTId3Gk5Agrhyhr3j6bxu3NjPtdu7XUuJYz7fyRSBTV573lnhbjloWKIR1eLGRve-Na09Ymm2ESw/w368-h640/IMG_20230514_162543.jpg" width="368" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Although the signature is fading a little, I'm thrilled with the Luke McCown 2004 Playoff Prime Signatures card numbered out of 99.</div><div><br /></div><div>I knew I owned the regular (or silver) 2005 Donruss Zenith - Rookie Roll Call card of Braylon Edwards, but wasn't sure if I had this gold parallel, numbered out of 100.
