Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

Hey ya'll know I'm a 43 year old man that collects football cards and yet you still let me hang around. heh heh hehe Thanks

Well, I am trying to collect the same cards I grew up on and that is Topps Bubble Gum cards and once you get before 1955 they were Bowman.

Yesterday I hit a milestone. I now have ALL cards from 1980 to the Present!

I have 4 more years to get in the 1970's and things are going to get hard and more expensive.

Take a look at where I am in my collecting.

In 2006 I plan on scanning or photographing the years and get the whole collection online for viewing and also make it searchable so you can pull up all of one players cards through the years.

If you see a hole in my collection you can help with by all means contact me and I will trade or buy.

I counted and I also have 25 autographed cards and things too.

peace

cool, sounds like quite a project ;) definately worthwhile.

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

My wife keeps asking me ever time I get a new set or edition.....
How much is all this worth now?
Like she is going to bump me off when it hits her magic number.
lol

As a collection I have heard it would be worth more than 10X the amount of the all it's parts because it is an intact complete collection.

Priceless to me and will never be sold but given to my son Elijah for him to continue to add to and pass down...tilll a greedy wife sells it all. lol

I used to collect cards, I'd just buy lots on ebay for a few dollars and I have 2 books full of random cards. I had seperated by year at one point so I'll list the ones I got here. The first page of 8 cards doesnt have a year listed on them anywhere. The players face is on the left with a yellow background with an action shot on the right side with a blue background: (these say t.c.g. on back Topps chewing gum)
1 Eddie Laborn
12 Lavern 'Torgy' Torgeson
36 Leo Elter
48 Gene Brito
60 Charles Drazenovich
72 Sam Baker
84 Volney Peters
98 Joe Scudero
1964 Sam Huff in Giants Uni #185
These next ones have an NFL logo in the top left corner and read P.C.G.C & S.P.C.E. Inc on the back I dont think they are Topps and Im also unsure of year, but I do know that they are after 1964 and before 1970 nevertheless:
181 Washington Redskins Football Team
183 Chris Hanburger
185 Sonny Jurgensen
186 Bobby Mitchell
187 Brig Owens
188 Jim Shorter
197 A.D. Whitfield
1971 Topps cards:
50 Sonny Jurgensen
237 Curt Knight
192 Manny Sistrunk
1972 Topps cards:
51 Curt Knight
142 Roy Jefferson
168 Roland McDole
1976 Topps cards
46 Dave Robinson
78 Brig Owens
106 Diron Talbert
134 Len Hauss
159 Walt Sweeney
179 Jim Tyrer
200 Larry Brown
277 Jerry Smith
332 Pat Fischer
392 Moses Denson
419 Chris Hanburger
444 Roy Jefferson
303 Verlon Biggs

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

Warpath and I have struck a deal!
The top 8 cards he mentions are 1957 cards and I can use them in my collection.
He collects Pennants and stuff so I am trading a 1992 NFC Division Championship Game Pennant for those cards.

We made the deal on AIM but I wanted to let ya'll know deals get made.

Thanks bro!

He speaks the truth. Thats a fact jack. :towel:

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

I found this thread when I was doing some research for my collection and it prompted me to do with my vintage cards what SammyBaughFan was going to do with his cards.

I finally found the time to scan and create a website and blog around my vintage Redskins card collection. It was a ton of work to do, but I am glad I did it.

If you are interested in vintage Redskins cards from 1935-1972, google "Redskins Card Museum" and take it from there. (The site won't let me post a link, though the link in my profile takes you to the same place)

There is a link to the blog from the main site.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

Didn't realize I had stepped into something by the mention of SBF.

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows

That's an impressive collection you've got

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

In the 1980 topps set, the wide receivers that got cards were:

Danny Buggs
John Mcdaniel
Ricky Thompson

Weren't they the legendary "Posse"?

Um maybe they were a posse, but they weren't the legendary posse

LOL... didn't that all come from the April Fool's joke several years ago? The one about the mods splitting up the site? Man, that was classic, I was LMAO days over that one.

I don't think so, I thought the Posse was Gary Clark, Art Monk and Ricky Sanders.

Re: Redskins Topps Football Card Collection Grows
 

Holy flerking shnit, I thought the site was about to be full of "dewd"s and BBQ tips all over again and I was a little scared/excited.

Anyway, I went through the small card collection I had as a kid a few months ago and it brought back some great memories. Most of the cards I have are from around 1990-1992 so you know there are a ton of great Skins in there, not to mention guys like Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, LT, to name a few. It all makes me wish that collecting cards had been more of a hobby for me back then.

I wasn't being serious. Bad joke, I guess. I was just pointing out that McDaniel, Buggs, and Thompson weren't exactly a stellar receiving corps.

Phew! Thank goodness. I was genuinely worried there for a minute :)
