that was a long time ago, .....I'm guessing 10 years......... The Pre BuzzBall years.....
.......man, we have come a long way!
for those that may be interested, those redskins of mine were a custom Joseph Paras team, ............................just to give you an idea, of what I paid for that team, .................a custom figure done up with like that was $20.00, ...and that was in 1998 dollars.........now we have ready made chin straps and facemask kits which make the figures look even better......and some guys wince at $12 - 15.00 per figure
..................it takes time to create beauty.
Joseph is a true artist, and was the FIRST to make decals, he was a true pioneer.
Others were making custom figures, but most looked liked melted plastic, ................Joseph made master pieces, some of my most prized possessions in my collection are the Joseph Paras teams, Dirk Thomas Teams, and a Terry Popham team I have,...... I also have a Mike "Shaggy" Pratt, Paul "Raiderman" Bartels, Mike Guttman, and last but certainly not least, Chris Stacey teams....
..................oops, ..............and I should not forget the "G-man" I have some of his great artwork as well.
I have others but I have to run to my Calc III class,
...................bye!
