From 1982 to 1986, I think I got some version of the Sears “Card Collecting Kit” every Christmas.
And I'm pretty sure each of them had a 1975 George Mitterwald card

Column: Al Harris has made an impact on the Chicago Bears for years — and wherever he goes, takeaways follow
Takeaways follow Al Harris wherever he goes, as a player or coach. The Chicago Bears considered it a coup when they hired him as defensive backs coach for Ben Johnson’s staff.

Now? I look at it as a Bonus Birthday, and I feel lucky to have one. The provenance of it is less important than the people who love me.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
