Isaac Curtis was in that very first pack of cards that I ever bought, I remember getting one with Ken Riley later that season.
A few years went by, and I slowly amassed a small shoebox full of football cards. Then, fast forward to my middle teen years, my family held a yard sale while I was camping with friends for the weekend. I bought my first pack of football cards in a couple years, and was excited to have Anthony Munoz, and wanted to immediately add them to my Bengals stack in the shoebox. I looked high and low, could not find it. Finally asked my Dad if he had seen my box of cards. He said, "well, I hadn't seen you messing with them in a good while, figured they were just taking up space in your closet, so I sold them in the yard sale.". I was devastated.
Imagine what some of those cards would be worth, to a collector today? Funny thing is that this thread brought back an old memory, as Isaac Curtis was in the first pack of cards that I ever bought.
Yes, he should absolutely be in the H.O.F.
Very sorry. Thats tough!
