As promised: Something DIFFERENT!

 I PROMISED TO BRING YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR TONIGHT. Here it is a flashback to the 70's. 1976 and 1978 Donruss SKATEBOARDING.







The 1976 Donruss set has blank banks. I have half of the set.



1978 has backs with real life shots on most of the back then current skate kings.













I have 2/3 of this set. The last card is actually listed as 1 of 2 promos. The front of the promos are the same, the picture on the back is what is different.

Now a storm update: Milton has slowed down to a CAT 4 (should build back to a 5) and 36 hours from now (when it is hitting me) should be a CAT 2. Really hoping this thing doesn't get hung up and moves through quickly. I do NOT plan on making a Wednesday night post. Kind of will have other things on mind. I have already prepped the post for Thursday providing all is well it will post.

    And fingers crossed for you in the upcoming days. Looks scary as hell from over here.

    1. Stickers to boot, I probably should have mentioned that.

  2. Not a skateboarder, but those cards are cool. Continuing to pray for all in the path of the storm. Be safe and well through it all.

  5. Wasn't familiar with those sticker sets. Looks like there are cards of Stacy Peralta and Tom Inouye in that 1978 set. I might have to track down copies for my collection.
