Title: All-Pro Football Stars 1977 Author: Jerry Brondfield Cover artist: photo cover
Yours for: $5
Best things about this cover:
Not sure why I own this. Must've been overcome by a wave of nostalgia for my earliest days of sports awareness. 1977 was pretty much the year that pro sports entered my consciousness, and I became a big sports (and stats) fan very quickly thereafter.

This was the time of Eldridge and Grainly, born into a world which accepted without conscience an acknowledgment of the underground. They simply did not think of this sustained nether world.
Funny, I'd rather not think of it either.
"This was the time of Eldridge and Grainly ... Attorneys at Law!"
