Mr. P Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 ...found on Twitter at Super 70s Sports: There was a time in my life when I was not going to school unless I scored some of these. It was that simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I remember them coming to Longview in 1980. The school actually sold them for 10 cents each. I bought as many Cowboy pencils as I could. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 What about the folders to go with said pencils? Going to the old Target across from Longview Mall and sorting through the folders like baseball cards. Trying to find favorite player with the coolest pictures. And always keeping that lucky Cowboys pencil for big tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born a poor black child, so I had to settle for 25-cent Pee Chees and yard sale Trapper Keepers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with my notebook we could choose our own. I'd always get the white zip lock notebooks so I could cut out sports pictures, rock stars, and models from magazines. In the 80's if I would have found a photo of Farrah Fawcett in her red swimsuit it would have been included in my collage. Instead I had to settle for the two Heather's (Locklear and Thomas).

Not a bad back up plan😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I find it amazing how some of the littlest things bring back memories. I still have all the 28 NFL pencils. Are they worth anything today other than being 10 cent pencils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you need a killer anniversary present there's a $195 set of 27 team pencils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
