THANK YOU!


This little tribute to the NASL has hit over 25,000 views.  I know that in the world of the "interweb" that isn't much but I really appreciate everyone who has stopped by, contributed, and left comments.  As Mr. Fawlty would say, 
"Thank you so much!"

WANTED!


I have been trying to find one of these posters for years.  I believe it was a mail order premium from the 1979 Topps NASL stickers.  This one is important to me because it features the Memphis Rogues.  If anyone has one for sale, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks!
