1984 Wichita Eagle-Beacon Card Checklist Part #1
After a nearly two month hiatus, I have a new installment to the Wichita Eagle Beacon checklist. I am only allowed to have 2 rolls of microfilm at a time now so the updates will be shorter. I finished the 1983 set and and have moved to 1984. There were several notable players with pre-rookie "cards" in this new grouping, as well as a very famous figure skater. Here are the Hall of Fame highlights: Marcus Allen (Football HOF 2003) and Eric Dickerson (Football HOF 1999).
