Unpacked some old newspapers and football prints today

I brought them from the rental last year, and stowed them under the dining room table. There are 5 old newspapers:
Evening Star: Eisenhower Elected
Evening Star: Kennedy Inuagural Edition
Evening Star: Probe Says Oswald Acted Alone
Evening Star: Nixon Inuagural Edition
Columbus Dis[atch: Moon Walkers Head for Home

I was alive when they were all fresh headlines

In the same box was a stack of 1981 Tenenbaum prints of some of the players for the Cincinnati Bengals, when they went to the Superbowl. There was
1 Archie Griffin
1 Ken Anderson
several Pat McNally
several Anthony Munoz
several Ross Browner
I remember the excitement when the Bengals went to the Superbowl. My husband loved that team

I learned today that these prints were Shell Oil premiums you could get at the Shell Gas Stations, a different one weekly. The prints also feature the first year that Cincinnati used the striped helmet.

I put one each of Ross Browner and Anthony Munoz in a clear plastic sleeve and sold them in my booth for $10.00 the same week. I put more in sleeves, maybe they'll sell as quick.
