  1. John,

    I am a lifelong Packer fan starting in the 1960s. I have been making custom cards for my own enjoyment for several years. My first project was to have a card of every Lombardi Packer 1959-1967. I finished that after finally finding Packer photos of Gene Breen and Ed Holler. I started adding cards from all eras. If the player was never on a card and I found a nice photo, I created a card. I’ve added almost 300 new cards to my Packer book. It is always great to find someone that shares this passion. My other great obsession is collecting NFL video. I have gamefilms going back to the 1940s and clips and highlights going back to the 1920s. Please feel free to contact me.

    • Hey Bob!

      My great grandpa is Charlie Mathys who played from 1922-26 for the Packers. I would love to see the cards you made of him. I would also be interested in purchasing those cards as well. Do you have any game film from when he played? I would like to see that as well!

  2. Hi John –

    I really enjoy your writing and your website! A quick question or you. On a prior post, you talked about the Packers’ replacement players from 1987 (https://packerspastperfect.wordpress.com/2015/12/20/the-replacement-packers/). There were a few football cards you displayed there. I was wondering if there was any source out there (maybe the football card set you displayed) that had images of replacement players (both Packers and others)? This is for a research project and I would be happy for any advice you have.

    Thanks!

  3. Hi John Enjoyed looking at your site and the history part of the players.The cards were amazing. I think the history and meeting the players and fans who enjoy the stories is the fun part of sports. Was wondering are any for sell or trade. I am a friend of Bob Faber and have seen some of his custom cards and yours as well as his are as well done as I have seen. Please continue your work.as there many of us older packer fans who enjoy this. Thank you

  4. Hello John,

    I only recently learned of your fantastic Packers blog, history, and pix. Very impressive. I am working on a book of Packers greats and pictures of some of the Lambeau-era greats in particular, and even a few modern-era players, are difficult to find, even among big collecting friends of mine. I am curious what would be required for permission/attribution/use of the following Packers, whose images I saw on your site?

    Cecil Isbell
    Charley Brock
    Joe Laws
    Buckets Goldenberg
    Doug Evans

    Those are the only pix we are still in need of try to wrap up my book. Any and all help GREATLY appreciated!

    GO PACKERS!

  5. Hi John, I just read your Trawling for Images entry and wanted to let you know that the B&W image in the Sam Dickerson trio is actually a kick returner named Roosevelt Van He was in camp with the Packers in
    1973. Can you please email me with where you found those b&w images.

    THANKS , Bob Faber
