In Lynn Swann's entire career he had ONE season with more than 50 catches.

His single season career high for yards was 880.

He was not even the best WR on his own team.

Possible, I don't about him being grossly overrated. I think it was more a function of the offense they ran and the era they were in. That offense in today's game would be putting up big stats.

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.

That sucks. I have, or had(?), a box of cards too. Think I probably collected some of those same cards
