Old timey Blazer trading cards

My Pop found these when he was going through some boxes. I remember the Portland Police coming to our schools the year after we won the championship and handing these out.

Just thought I'd share these with the community because:

1. The Roy era Blazers make me as excited about the team as I was as a kid listening to the games on the radio

2. BE is a big part of that. I love this site and I'd like to do what little I can to give back... and

3. There's a little Atomic Dog in all of us (sorry no Audie card in my inventory).

I think I still have some Franz cards around somewhere

I completely forgot all about those Franz cards until your post.

I was thinking about listening to games on the radio as a kid, and after the game there was a late night sports talk show hosted by someone named Ron Barr. I remember really digging that show. I want to say it was on 1520am.

God, Ron Barr. If that doesn’t ring a bell…

They need to bring back the Franz cards

and the Dairy Queen cups. Imagine the Blazermania that would ensue. Those things were a big part of my fandom growing up, it really made me connect with the team.. They should bring the cups and the cards back to engage another young generation of Blazer fans
