Culp is on there with Mike Garrett Johhny Robinson, Jim Tyrer & Jerrell Wilsom

I bought it 6-10 years ago from an Auction House as a display piece and we moved house maybe a year or so after purchase.
Boxed it with a tonne of other stuff and it never got opened until last weekend when I went looking for a turn of the century (19th) baseball cap I also knew I'd bought many years ago.
I'd just sold a cool 1878 Princeton College baseball pass to a collector who asked if I had anything else of interest.
I remembered the cap and went looking, and along the way in the same plastic tub found this football, a Kobe signed basketball, and some other odds and sods.
Maybe my most fun weekend in forever discovering a 'find' in my own house and it didn't even cost me anything.
