    TBH, I didn't like em' growing up cause they kicked the Skins but in the 83' Super Bowl, lol.

    However, in the past year I've been reviewing old games from the 80's and 70's because I'm trying to build a league that's mainly based around Super Bowl winners from that era. Now mind you, I was too young to have seen the Raiders in 1980 and 1976, so I'm not sure I even realized they had won it then...

    Now that I've been delving into the players and teams from those decades, I have to say how impressed I am with that franchise, LOL. There were so many great athletes from Cliff Branch, Jack Tatum and Ted Hendricks to Marcus Allen, Howie Long and Tom Hendricks, that I'm not sure how I missed them all these years. And then when I found out John Madden was the Head Coach of the 76' Raiders? Wowzers. 

    Not saying they'll ever become my favorite team of course, but I can honestly look back now at the era and admire their legacy as one of the best franchises in NFL history. 

    The Raiders were loaded with talent and great coaching and I like their bad boy approach to football.

    I thoroughly agree. Unfortunately, I don’t think any new helmeted or new uniforms from the NFL will show up as Uni-Forms. The emphasis seems to be on college Uni-Forms, and that’s all cool, as you will notice, Mr. Nutt plays exclusively with college teams. 
    I, on the other hand, have always been bent towards the NFL when it comes to electric football. A child of the seventies, am I.

    The sixteen team drop we experienced two years ago will, more than likely, be the last drop of it’s kind. For that matter, ANY new NFL drop. At least the existing teams get replenished. I was afraid the product was going to be abandoned, so when I saw college teams being produced, I was pretty happy. I may or may not be ordering any, but there are many coaches more interested in college ball, so if it means Uni-Forms continues, I’m all for it! Who knows? Maybe we will see new versions from the NFL in the future! 
    I have me some dreams.

    Journey On!

    Same here. I don't mind the college teams because everybody has their own preference, but with the NFL we can focus on 32 teams. If it were League Play and you had a lot of coaches either way the fun is there.

    Final Stats of Note

    Falcons

    Ridder:  2 rushes 83 yds 1TD    12/16 251 yards 2TDs 2 sacks

    Patterson:  2 receptions 89 yards 1TD

    Robinson:  10 rushes 32 yds  reception 15yds

    Pitts :  5 receptions 88yds 1TD

    Colts

    Taylor:  14 rushes 54 yds    4 receptions 55yds 3TDs   5 returns 163yds

    Pittman:  3 receptions 31 yds     1 return 103 yds 1TD

    Downs:   1 rush 43yds    2 receptions 31yds

    Moore:  5 tackles 

     

    Those two big runs for 89 yards by r i d d e r should have been capitalized by more successful running. That's a huge number.

    Poimenently! LOL  (Daryl, How do you even know how to spell poimenently?) 😃👍

    Bases follow a Bell Curve. I bought 300 single-clip bases and I'm looking for the 25% that are Above Expectations, or Excellent Performers in game situations.image.thumb.png.402706add68e07f756391caee1803158.png

    Some bases — no matter how much they are loved and tweaked — can't be saved. 🗑️ 

    Some bases are money in the bank. 💵🏦💰 The following Javelin players were offered contracts to start for the Meteor Storm.

    Javelin's #14 Quarterback ➡️ Meteor Quarterback

    Javelin's #62 Guard / Defensive End ➡️ Meteor Left Tackle

    Javelin's #52 Right Outside Linebacker (edge rusher) ➡️ Meteor Right Outside Linebacker

    Javelin's #48 Left Outside Linebacker (edge rusher) ➡️ Meteor Quarterback

    Javelin's #6 Strong Side Corner ➡️ Meteor Nickel Back 

    Javelin's #12 Free Safety ➡️ Meteor Weak Side Cornerback

    Javelin's #99 Defensive End ➡️ Meteor Guard / Defensive Tackle

    Javelin's #20 Tailback ➡️ Meteor Tailback

    Meteor Storm retained 16 of their original 23 players.

    Meteor Storm Internal Moves:

    Meteor TB #31 moved to Halfback.

    Practice Team:

    (The Practice Team consists of players that have good credentials but aren't needed by the Meteor Storm. PT players may be picked up by any team.)

    Javelin's WR / KR #3     9 returns for 310 kick return yards; 7 targets for 141 receiving yards; no touchdowns. Problem: Can't find the End Zone.

    Javelin's HB #34           +303 rushing yards on 20 carries; 13 carries for -57 yards; 3 touchdowns. Problem: Loses yards on shortage yardage situations.

    Javelin's TE / KR #87    

    Javelin's TE #83

    Javelin's FB #46

    Enjoy the Journey    T43    🏈♾️

    With those players that's an exciting season upcoming for you

    Wow 25% that's a good number to draft right there if it's a good batch.

    Do those figures get repainted and kept on the same base? I remembered you saying once a player is paired with a base, no other action figure will play the same as that pairing. I have found this to be very true as well. One would think an all purpose figure is just an all purpose figure. I have instance after instance where this is just not the case! I’ve weighed the figures and examined them and can find no real reason for this to be true, but the on field performance does not lie.

    Journey On!

    That's the fact of the day on field performance never lies! It's exciting.

    The Meteor Shower just beat the Trans-Am Javelins and eliminated the Javelins.

    Elimination means the Meteor Shower receive the best of the Javelin players and the rest of the Trans-Am Javelin players are headed for the oblivion.

    Meteor cornerback #43 closed out the game with a pick-six.

     

     

    This is the part of the Draft Tournament that I love. These games are analogous to high school games and high school athletes are hopeful they'll get an invitation to try out for a college team. No invitation — No career.

    Enjoy the Journey.   T43.   🏈♾️

    Great concept love the video

    I don't know what the true total value of my collection is, I know that if I were asked to put a value on it, it would probably be much more than $20,000. However, I have seen pics of other people's collections that have way more stuff than I do. The greatest value of anybody's collection is in the teams and figures. I have often bought game sets for nothing more than the teams and bases. I personally have always been more interested in the game boards, so my collection of original factory teams is very limited. 

    Today's market though is much larger than it was when I started collecting over 25 years ago. The market demand for original vintage electric football games is getting much smaller. Today the market demand is more for custom painted teams, custom built game boards and field covers.   

     

    I'm always amazed at how much people actually hold on to and it's terrific.
