Card Collecting 26: Custom Set Completed (for now)

   
I now have at least one card of every Heisman Trophy winner 1968 - 2018.  

1976 Topps #300 O.J. Simpson Front   1977 Topps #269 Archie Griffin Front 

I didn't originally plan on O.J. being the lead card.  It was 'during my lifetime', then it was 'starting with 1970', then I noticed the gap with Gary Beban not having a card so I went after O.J. and Steve Owens and now have every winner since the gap except Burrow. 

Griffin won it twice, so it's 50 winners but 51 years. 

1979 Topps #331 Earl Campbell Front   1988 Topps #328 Marcus Allen Front 

The Campbell represents one of my more annoying trade experiences.  Allen was a pack pull.   

1988 Topps #327 Bo Jackson Front   1989 Score #86 Tim Brown Front 

Bo was a pack pull.  Brown was one of the first NFL stars I had followed at the college level.

 1994 Stadium Club #371 Charlie Ward Front   1994 Stadium Club #371 Charlie Ward Back  

Charlie Ward:  I think I'll go to the NBA without getting a card in an NFL uniform, just to annoy Elliptical Man. 

2010 Topps #440 Tim Tebow  Front  2014 Topps #429 Johnny Manziel Front  

Jekyll and Hyde.

2018 Donruss #317 Lamar Jackson Front      

Potential. 


Anyway, here's my entire list on TCDB:

  2. At one time I thought I was going to try and get an autograph from every Heisman winner... your project sounds much more doable!
