this is just a suggestion, i am NOT the minifootball police...lol.

You make a good point and I am one that could be one that does this. not because I de-value the figures, but more of including classic figures on my current teams.
All of the complete teams of yesteryear that are complete and intact are kept in a secure place and I do nothing with them. Spent plenty of ebay dollars to get them, some rare, some common, all black shores and originals haiti and very few 67's. From the first time I had a hogleg or black shoe player, I was mesmerized by the details of those figures. Love them!
So, I keep them active on the gridiron today. They are small compared to stuff today, but they are still very effective...remember they were the fathers and grand fathers of the players today.
If you every want to discuss getting some of the teams in my collection, send me a PM and we can talk about them........
