Player: Otto Graham
Card: 1950 Bowman, Card #45
Team/Position: The Cleveland Browns / Quarterback
Cost: $15.50 for this snowed in version of one of the greatest rookie cards of all time
There were three or four cards that I genuinely thought I’d have no chance in hell of acquiring for a reasonable price. The two big boys from the [...]

Player: Marion Motley
Card: 1950 Bowman Football, Card #43
Team/Position: Cleveland Browns / Fullback
Cost: $30.00
The 1950 Bowman Gum Football set is one of the greatest sets of all time. Prior to the 1950 season, the AAFC merged with the NFL and some of the all-time greats finally got their first rookie cards. The Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns [...]

Player: Leroy Kelly
Card: 1967 Philadelphia Football Card #43
Team/Position: Cleveland Browns / Runningback
Cost: $13.00
For some reason, this card eluded me for a good chunk of time. When I finally saw one on eBay, I pounced all over it. I probably ended up overpaying for a GAI graded 2, but at least I’m able to check it [...]

Player: Bobby Mitchell
Card: 1959 Topps Football Card #140
Team/Position: Halfback, Flanker / Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns
Cost: $9.00
Bobby Mitchell was yet another incredible athlete from the prestigious Big-10 conference. This time, rather than ranting and raving about Ohio State, we’re taking a trek westward to visit Champaign, Illinois, and their Fightin’ Illini. Mitchell was a half-back for [...]

Player: Paul Warfield
Card: 1965 Philadelphia Football Card #41
Team/Position: Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins / Split End, Wide Receiver
Cost: $20
The 1965 Philadelphia Football Set is absolutely gorgeous and as far as I can tell, it was the first set to place the NFL Shield on the front of the card. Upper Deck released their very own version [...]

Player: Jim Brown
Card: 1958 Topps Football Card #62
Team/Position:Cleveland Browns / Runningback
Cost: About 80 Bucks
I probably overpaid as this is topping out at a PSA 3, but more likely we’re dealing with the 1 to 2 range. But Goshdarnit, what a card!
The ‘58 version of Topps included Brown’s first card, but the design itself isn’t all that [...]
