Brief collection update:. You’ve seen me post previously about collecting every player with cards. Well I’ve altered that goal. We’re now collecting every single player. As it stands today, I’m at 1,416 total players collected, or about 85% of every Steeler ever. #HereWeGo

Reflecting today on the first ever standard issue professional football card set, 1935 National Chicle! . This set features for Steelers/Pirates during that season, and two others (Ed Matesic & Swede Johnston) who later played in Pittsburgh! . A true legendary set! #HereWeGo

Pine is featured on the 1961 Nu-Card set! This is a college set that features some of the top players from the ‘61 season! This is also Pine’s only trading card! A fun little college set, and the only appearance you’ll see in this collection! #HereWeGo

Pine was a second round pick in ‘62 by the 49ers where he’d spend his first three seasons. He was a regular starter during those seasons, but was a reserve in Pittsburgh, playing in 8 games before his retirement! #HereWeGo

We’ve got one final linebacker to feature today. Today’s backer had a brief NFL career, but we’ll get to talk about a trading card set we’ve not yet seen! Today we feature, Ed Pine! #HereWeGo

Campbell is feature here on the 1966 Coke Cap! He does have a ‘64 Coke Cap with Minnesota I would eventually like to find, but always happy to hunt down any of these. All of these are difficult; so I’m happy with everything! #HereWeGo

Campbell began his career in Minnesota for his first 2 years before coming to Pittsburgh where he played parts of 5 years. He grabbed 5 ints and had a FR TD. After 46 starts in Pittsburgh, he was traded to Baltimore during the ‘69 campaign where he’d ultimately retire. #HereWeGo

The second of our linebackers had a nice 7-year career, and was a regular starter during his time in Pittsburgh! And he’s on our favorite twisted treasure! Today we feature, John Campbell! #HereWeGo

For the 4th of July, I tried to come up with a few cards that have a red, white, and blue flair! Have a safe holiday! #HereWeGo

The Chief #HereWeGo

Breedlove gets his standard issue card in 1963 Topps. Or if you’re really daring, you can also hunt down his Salada Coin or Coke Cap as well! Always cool to feature someone from your town in a project like this! #HereWeGo

Breedlove was drafted in ‘60 by the 49ers but began his player career with Washington. While in Washington, Breedlove was a Pro Bowler in 1962. He finished his 8 year-career in Pittsburgh. He picked off 2 passes and recorded 4.5 sacks! #HereWeGo

We have 3 linebackers to dive into during the 1965 campaign and we’ll start with one who was a Pro Bowler in his previous stop. He’s also from my original hometown! Today we feature, Rod Breedlove! #HereWeGo

Kortas didn’t get his standard issue card debut until 1969 with the Topps Issue that season. You can see his 75 prominently displayed in the photo as well! He is also in the KDKA set from ‘68 that we’ll get into really soon! #HereWeGo

Kortas was traded to the Chicago Bears in 1969, after being unseated in his starting role by Joe Greene. And speaking of Greene… Kortas was the final Steeler to wear 75 before Greene ended its reign. #HereWeGo

Kortas was the 9th overall pick by the Cardinals in ‘64 but was traded to Pittsburgh in ‘65. Kortas led the Steelers in sacks in ‘66 with 7, and recorded a fumble return TD in ‘67. Overall, he recorded 14 sacks in his 4 years. #HereWeGo

The final defensive lineman we’ll feature in ‘65 holds a unique distinction in team history we’ll talk about shortly! He was a regular on the line in his four seasons in Pittsburgh! Today we feature, Ken Kortas! #HereWeGo
