Quarterback who played for Green Bay for four seasons in 1950s dies at 87
This is the quarterback, not the x4 member, although the latter hasn't been seen round these parts for over a year.
And look at his college football card. It looks like his arms are going to fall off:
Even Aaron Rodgers didn't hold the ball that badly coming out of college.

I remember when he played for the Pack the first time.
I have his football card when he was with the Patriots in mid-60s
RIP Babe.
I have that and several other of his cards.
Amiright?
As always, you're wrong. 
Fed. As always. **** off.
According to the book "Lombardi's First Year", Parilli was Bart Starr's hero when he was at Kentucky. RIP Babe.
The second time Parilli came back it was him, Bart, and Pinapple Joe Francis.
All us kids were pulling for the Hawaiian with the cool name.
Francis came in with a pretty good draft class...
Francis was selected in the fifth round of the 1958 NFL draft, 51st overall, by the Green Bay Packers.[3] This was one of the top drafts by a team in NFL history; ahead of Francis, the Packers selected linebacker Dan Currie (3rd), fullback Jim Taylor (15th), linebacker Ray Nitschke (36th), and guard Jerry Kramer (39th).[11]

I always thought the 1974 Steeler draft was the greatest haul of all time. Swann, Stallworth, Lambert, Webster.
But Taylor, Ray, and Jerry is a great argument. Three all time greats. Great post.
Did I ever tell you guys about the 1959 Topps Jim Taylor card? It's the wrong Jim Taylor---guy by the same name played for the Cardinals.....they made the same mistake the following year as well....
Hey BK: is that card worth more because of the error? You know, like a coin that was minted incorrectly, then years later it is worth a million dollars.
Not really.....Topps NFL cards from that era are pretty inexpensive still...nothing compared to the baseball card market of that era----plus there was such poor quality control, mistakes were very common.
The most expensive cards I own are Hornung and Starr '57 rookie cards...I paid about $125 for each. Have a look at what a Hank Aaron rookie card goes for...
You can buy a lot of neat Packer cards from the 50's on EBay for under $15.
Thanks for the background info. I'm not a collector of anything, but I find it interesting to listen/read stories from collectors. A good friend of mine is a coin collector and he has some great stories of how he obtained his collection.

Currie was no slouch either.
And after 7 seasons he was traded to the Rams for Carroll Dale.
SD....No problem.
Mrs. Blair Kiel is not too thrilled with my hobby. I have a goal of collecting every Milwaukee Brave card from 1953-65...every Packer card from 1948-75 and every Brewer card from 1970-82.
That includes specialty sets (and coins and pins)like Johnston Cookies, Salada tea coins, Milwaukee Police cards, Post Cereal cards, Bazooka gum cards, Spic n'span cards (yeah, the dry cleaners) and Kahn's meats.....
It's quite a task.
I'm 97% there...some things are just too scarce or too expensive (i.e Aaron rookie card)
BTW....
RIP Gene Conley.
Won championships with Braves and Celtics....eat your heart out Deon...
I'm sorry if ChilliJon didn't get I was cracking a joke.
We're sorry you tried in the first place.
Next time I'll just say "x4, not for pussies", and you'll all praise me.

Okay Ayn Roper.

BK, let me know if you are looking for any specific Brewer card from 1970 (primarily) and 1971 (possibly).
I'll look through what I have.
You rock Timmy! The Topps cards are the easy ones to get....full sets from the 70's are still pretty reasonable. It's the specialty sets of things like stamps, pins, Kelloggs 3-D cards ( the ones they put out in the 70's were really beautiful) Bazooka panels, bottle caps ...they are a challenge. I just finished the set of 1969 Sunoco pins (yeah, made in "69, for the '70 season) I'll post a picture tonight....see? Now you have something to look forward to...
Mint Dom Capers business card. Signed. Super rare misprint. Reads "Defensive Coordinator". Serious offers only.
Dom Capers is an anagram for Crap Modes, that should be on his business card. AMIRITE!
also an anagram for Sacred Mop.
Given name is Earnest, so
Arcane rep sets
His mom calls him Dominic
Cocains primed
Sprained comic
Cad micro penis
The last one was my high school nickname.
....shoulda never gone out for the swim team.
Shrinkage?
....that was my story and I'm sticking to it.

Bottle caps...
Wow, that brings me back. It must have been the early 70's when I collected Packer bottle caps (the plastic inside the cap). I am 99% sure it was Coca Cola. They had some folder or something you could paste them on. If you got them all, which I did, you could redeem the set for a red white and blue football.
I remember that football though now I'd much rather have the bottle cap collection!
My first recollection of bottle caps was when Pepsi put letters (printed on the plastic part) in them. You had to collect enough letters to spell out some phrase that was related to Pepsi (The Pepsi Generation, perhaps?). They made a card or booklet of some kind you could glue them to to redeem them.
My Dad was a mechanic at a garage then, and he showed me how to use his magnetic retriever to get the caps out of the 'box' they fell into when you used the built-in opener on the machine.
I'd empty it out regularly, but never won anything. Dad probably appreciated that it kept me out of his hair for a while...
