A Nice Find
 

I opened up an old book and found several signed Redskin pictures. The first was a black and white around the late 70's Mark Mosley signed with a good luck to me and my name. The other is I think #53 (I left the pic at home) and I believe his name was Johnson something. Does anyone know where I could find the late 70's roster so I can figure out who he is. I would have been around 9 at the time and neither me nor my father know where they came from.

I didn't see any Johnson with the number 53, though.

Yeah, I was reading through it and discovered that Richie Petitbon was a DB. Now THAT is hard to imagine.

I'm going to check the name and number again tonight. I had guest last night and did not take to long of look at the photo. My attention went to the Mosley pic. This was great timing because I just built a new garage that has a 20x24 room above which is going to be my game and skins room.

When I was like 5 I remember going with my brother to an autograph signing at Best (not Best Buy, just Best. Anyone else remember that store?) and getting Mark Moseley's autograph. I had no idea who he was really, I just wanted to hang out with my older brother and his friends.

I got Theismann's also. Again, I had no clue who he was

tafkas, you still have those? those are...priceless

Re: A Nice Find
 

Yup. I have them in frames with their Topps cards in my room at my parents house.

I also have a Heath Shuler. Not framed though

Re: A Nice Find
 

Feel free to use Shuler as a dartboard. It can't hurt it's value!

Re: A Nice Find
 

maybe he can punt?

Yep, BEST was a very good store. I used to shop there when I lived in the Fairfax area in the 70's and early 80's. I don't think they are around anymore though???

Sadly no. I loved their toy dept. But they had everything there. Sony Watchmans, Casio Calculator Watches, Zenith TVs. Even jewelry!

Ok I looked again and the other Skins Auto was Dennis Johnson #61 DE he played 4 years for the skins in the early 70's and that all I know about him. Anyone know anything about him , was he anygood? I alos found an auto from Cornell Gordon #28 CB for Denver Broncos and the JEts I also know nothing about him.

I did some looking and this was about all I found on him if anyone cares about a little of Skins history. [url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8202123975150524253&q=RBI+baseball]Dennis Johnson - Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame 2006 Inductee - Google Video[/url]

I can see it now when I finish my game room and have his pick up no one will know who it is.

Cards are worth whatever they mean to someone. Those should be worth much to you for the memory alone.

Here's a list of the signed "cards" I have. I need to show I guess which ones were signed for me and which ones I bought.

I only remember Dennis Johnson-the Boston Celtic.

Sigh, I'm still reminiscing about Best. And all those other stores that have gone by the wayside-People's Drug Store, Crown Books, Kemp Mill Records...

Thats the funny part we have know idea when or wher I got the pictures signed. My father has been a diehard Skins fan for years and we know that it was probably something we went together but thats all we know. They just showed up in an old book my mother gave to me the other night. Both where signed with one of those little sayings like "best of luck Bryan" so I do know they where signed for me and they are 8x11 black and white pics.
