I was flipping through Warmans guide today and noticed the the old QB for the Oakland Raiders collects this stuff. So I looked around on google and found a page showing a large part of his collection and its probaly one of the nicest ones I've ever seen. Have any of you ever met him or seen his collection? Anyone got a better collection they wouldnt mind showing off? http://www.go-star.com/antiquing/rich_gannon.htm Robert

I met (briefly) Rich @ one of Bill Campbell's gas bashes in 2000 or 2001. He had been to Fred Stoke's place so Fred introduced him to me. (I'm sure he has NO recollection of meeting me!) VERY nice humble guy. He bought a couple of things from my friend & myself. Didn't ask for much off the stuff, just a real polite person.

OR

Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Rich came to Columbia one time that I remember. He was BIG Gulf guy. He always looked pretty small on TV against D-Linemen but he was a big boy in person. He ran with Gene Sonnen of Minneapolis? if I remember right.

He's a pretty nice guy, he let me try and tackle him once last summer when we were lookin for a car for my step-sister. I could of tried to tackle him all day and I still wouldnt of had a chance at taking him down. But it was fun while it lasted.
