NIL. it was then ncaa-outlawed. the secret to making a go of it is to hit both the children's price range ("hey dad: can i get a couple packs of cards at the game today?! i've saved my allowance, grass cutting money, baby sitting money: please?") while realizing enough profit to make the effort worth it. VT ADept and TSL (Ivan Morozov) have lots and gobs of pics; work out a deal to use their artwork. This should be an easy one for ADept to spin-off to an affiliated contractor, and get Art School, Business School, and maybe some School of Broadcasting student labor to work and gain experience building and running it. throw in some old timer cards (MV7, LS22, CFB milestones, LT3, TT5, etc), bowl game cards, team cards, signature wins and you get the "old guys" and collectors interested. complete team season sets in shrink wrap make great Christmas gifts - for adamant collectors and to start a collection. don't forget those coaching staff cards, too: CBF, CCav, CTapp, CSorenson, CArians, etc; and Hokies in the pros cards: Fullers, Flowers, Edmunds trio, Jarrett, and KJ, etc. highlight AA's like CDale, FLoria, BSmith. special frames to display your al time favorites. capture blocks to preserve those authentic autographs. you can go high tech and offer scan codes on back of some cards with exclusive facts and stats. bubble gum no longer needed. i'd be in to put together a collection and i'm 72.
