NFL Pencils and Spaceship Erasers.
I’ve never been a sports fan, but somehow back in 1980 I needed to have each and every one of these gosh darn NFL pencils, even if I knew absolutely nothing about the teams (and I didn’t). And I wasn’t alone. The Steelers, Cowboys and Broncos pencils were especially sought after amongst the boys in...
Rediscovered: Brach’s Pick-A-Mix Candy.
Source: onceuponaproduct.blogspot.com via Lefty on Pinterest Ah, yes. Even more goodness from Pinterest, this time provided by Once Upon A Product. My earliest memory of a Brach’s POP display was at the Lucky grocery store by my house back in Westchester (1980). I don’t remember any signage aside from the Brach’s logo, so I never...
Go for it.
The picture above is awesome for several reasons, which I’ll go into later. This should be a no-brainer for the rest of you ’70s kids. For now, I just wish I could blow it up into a huge poster which I’d hang on my wall. Image from the newly discovered treasure trove of awesomeness known...

Pee Chee Folder of the Week (pt. 2)!
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. The Fiend had scanned in his Pee Chee folder from 1988 and it was just too classic to leave unnoticed. Actually this time it’s much more subtle than his Pee Chee folder from 1982 (no Typing Eraser!), but the band logos and decorative elements are super-reminiscent of the late ’80s...

Pee Chee Folder Art From the ’70s and ’80s has just erupted with a couple of new freakin’ AWESOME submissions, thanks to The Fiend! You MUST click on the pictures to behold the glorious detail that only Pee Chee...
Back in the days of VHS rentals.
I joined Pinterest last year to have a handy resource for pics I found on the web and what not. I’ve actually been totally lazy as far as using it to its fullest potential, but once in a great while I’ll drop by and see what’s going on. On my latest visit I found the...
