This is quick item to let you know of an amazing post I found at the Fleer Sticker Project. The post talks about how great it was to go shopping for cards in the 1970’s. I am not sure how to insert trackback links in these posts, so I just posted a link to his [...]

“I like Sonny”, “I like Billy”

admin — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 05:07:44 +0000

I have a vague memory of being in the Super Giant grocery store in McLean, Virginia and seeing Billy Kilmer and Sonny Jurgensen bumper stickers for sale. During the early 1970’s the town was divided and people could put a bumper sticker on their car that identified who they wanted to be the Redskins quarterback. Occassionally [...]

As I have mentioned before, the focus of my collection is vintage Redskins team sets and other vintage Redskins items. However, each year I add the basic Topps team set to my collection. These are easy and cheap to pick up on eBay and it is always fun to keep my run of Topps sets [...]

It took a long time for PSA to grade these items and it took longer for me to get them on the site, but I have added the 1962 Salada Coins to the Redskins Card Museum. This is one of many oddball sets featured on the site. I still have a few coins to go [...]

Well, unfortunately Curt Knight won’t be kicking off from the 40-yard line when the Redskins begin their preseason on Thursday night. However, all of us here at the Redskins Card Museum (well, it is only me) wish Shaun Suisham the best of luck when he kicks off from the 30. I have some items that I [...]

It is a great time of year. After the Redskins NFL draft it is time to start adding to my Redskins football card collection. While I love the vintage cards that I show on my web site - The Redskins Football Card Museum, I also like adding some new cards each year. I am not [...]

How Sonny Jurgensen Became A Redskin

admin — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:32:30 +0000

Since I have been collecting Redskins football cards, I have noticed how many Washington Redskins stars were somehow acquired during the mid 1960’s through the early 1970’s. This is the first entry in series called “How They Became Redskins”. Recently, the Redskins have been doing anything possible to obtain a replacement for Jason Campbell. Before they [...]

The Technology Behind The Site

admin — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:45:32 +0000

I am a management and technology consultant by day. While I used to be a decent software engineer, I rarely get hands-on with technology any more and I miss it. One of the reasons I built the Redskins Football Card Museum was to get hands-on again and learn as much as I could. Most of [...]
