very true Chuck, im in no way expecting to get rich from this... a few hundred bucks yeah, but thousands, no way in hell...
brah, you obviously dont understand much, you may not pay 100 bucks for a Martinez bat, but people in Wa would, and do, all day long, Edgar is loved here as much as the legends in NY...
and name 10 players before 70 i would want on a ball? is that a joke? alrighty then... problem is, you would never see these players on 1 ball, unless you religiously traveled the states going to conventions and paying big money to get the signatures put on them before they died... impossible... plus the fact that they are probably all HOFers and that would be something that likely wouldnt happen either.... would take far too much time and too much money to accomplish it...
heres your list:
Jim Brown
Gale Sayers
George Blanda
Dick Lane
Joe Namath
Fran Tarkenton
Bob Griese
Ollie Matson
Norm Van Brocklin
Johnny Unitas
Bart Starr
Sonny Jurgenson
Paul Hornung
Deac Jones
Dick Butkus
Merlin Olsen
Alex Karras
Sammy Baugh
Steve Van Buren
Sid Luckman
Jim Thorpe
George MacAfee
Red Grange
Bob Waterfield
Mike Ditka
now i have left out a ton of great players from before 1970, but those names popped into my head, and obviously its more than 10... i could do it with baseball too... baseball today, for me, is garbage, too much controversy with steroids and such, im just not into it anymore... im not saying its a sh!tty sport, not knockin anyone for liking it, i just dont care for it anymore... i still collect the older players from the 1900s to the 60s when i get wild hairs, just not into any of it really any more... including football, i used to have a ton of stuff, rookies, autos, balls, bats, gloves, ect... but i dont anymore... i used to enjoy buying and selling, just not my thing at this time, so ive kinda substituted it with fishing, buying and selling old rods, reels, gear ect....
i know plenty of how this works, brah

Happy Thanksgiving guys...
