Clarke Hinkle

Clarke Hinkle is my 305th Football HOFer in my collection, This was purchased off of eBay.  Clarke passed away in 1988 and was enshrined in the FHOF in 1964. So this filled a hole that really wouldn't be filled any other way so nice addition to the collection.  The item is listed as a print on the PSA label but is postcard size and has a short write up on the back.

Julius Peppers

I purchased this card on Ebay December 14th and it just arrived today after numerous emails to seller and having to open a case against the seller It finally shipped and I finally received it. The card is a 2024 Panini Illusions Jersey/Autograph #137/199 #'d IJA-JPS.  Nice card was just a hassle and to much work to get it received.  Julius is the 304th member of the Football HOF that I have there autograph in my collection.
