One of the sets that pushed my interest into high gear for cards was the 2004 Rookies & Stars set.
Unfortunately I never pulled any Ben Roethlisberger cards from packs.
Fortunately, I’ve been able to add a few over the years from the sets including this ‘04 R&S Longevity Sapphire #’d 75 of Ben!

If only we could go back in time…
This excerpt is from a 1959 program. If only we could tell them that Geri would still hold the record for longest punt in 2025.

How about a Steelers card I’ve quite literally never seen until now.
A 1999 Senior Bowl card of Aaron Smith! Steelers collectors know he’s virtually impossible to find cards of, but it’s amazing to find something I didn’t even know existed! #Steelers

Collecting every player in team history means searching through some obscure items, but really cool ones at that!
This 1936 Spalding NFL Rules Guide is one of those. Featuring an early picture of The Chief and the 1935 team photo, this item helps identify some of the earliest Steelers! #Steelers

Vintage #Steelers programs have been part of my main focus recently!
This 1948 program v. the Boston Yanks represents a 24-14 win for Pittsburgh.
Hall of Honor member Elbie Nickel scored his first career TD and RB Norm Mosley scored his only career TD in this game.

In 1970, the Steelers drafted 3 receivers in the NFL Draft.
Shanklin or Smith would lead the team in receiving each year between 1970-1973 (Shanklin 70, 72-73 & Smith 71)
Staggers also added his talent in the punt return game!
This trio combined for 33 touchdowns while in Pittsburgh #Steelers
