New in the Gallery: 1924 Lafayette College Football Cards
August 21st, 2013 | Published in New in the Gallery
This week I added 1924 Lafayette College cards to the Vintage Football Card Gallery. One of the cards in the set, Charlie Berry, is pictured here. Berry went on to play two seasons for the NFL‘s Pottsville Maroons, and he also played thirteen seasons of major league baseball. Several other players from the 1924 Lafayette team played in the NFL, as well.
For now I put the set in the Food and Regional Issues category of the Gallery, but I think I will create a separate category for college cards when I get a chance.
A big thanks to Carl Lamendola for providing the images for these cards. Carl recently co-authored an article about the Lafayette set; it appears in Issue 41 of Gridiron Greats magazine.
