Cards and vintage stuff - football matchbooks

I recently picked up a very specific matchbook lot - all were restaurants owned by former NFL players. I'll go in order from (roughly) newest to oldest, and throw some cards in the photos when possible. I'll start off with this not-very-vintage Brett Favre matchbook.

Jim McMahon's Arena opened in 2002 and closed in 2003, just long enough for the investors to bilk the former Bears QB out of a lot of money.

So recent it has a web address on the back, Lee Roy Selmon's Southern Comforts opened in 2001 and closed in 2018, several years after the Bucs great's untimely death.

A couple of coach-owned matchbooks. Shula's as you can tell is from 2001 or 2002.

It's not very often that the OT is a bigger celebrity than the QB he protected, but such was the case for this Cards tandem who opened a restaurant together toward the end of their careers.

This free tobacco offer from US Tobacco is dated 1979, several years after Walt Garrison's football career was ended by a rodeo injury.

You can't get much better than a Johnny Unitas matchcover. Also a great chance to show off the funniest "altered" cards I own.

A few other random older matchbooks. John Barrow was a CFL star. There was a Ray Busler who had a brief NFL career but the Ray Bussler on this cover never played past high school. The other two are from some '60s stars of the Packers and Colts.

This was the most interesting one to me. Kenny Sheresky of Manhattan's Kenny's Steak Pub wasn't a football player, but he had a very football-themed display. It does seem to have been a popular spot for NFLers and other celebrities.

I believe this is the NY Giants' Tucker Fredrickson on the front.

And I think this is John Cannady on the back.

I was able to find a photo of a menu with larger signatures, and made out these, some baseball players and entertainers among the NFLers: Tucker Frederickson, Jake Goodman, Joe Morrison, Rosie Brown, Dick Modzelewski, Sammy King, Bob Ruark, Jack Carter, Mickie St. John, Marty Allen, Ollie Matson, Sam Huff, Tony Bennett, Steve Thurlow, Lou Costello, Al Downing, Bob Taylor, Em Tunnell, Joe Walton, Y.A. Tittle, Jimmy Durante, Henny Youngman, Nat Cole, Johnny Carson, Eddie Albert, Lane Howell, Edward Bennett, Hank Greenberg, Paul Anka, Norm Crosby, Ken Venturi, Hugh McElhenny, Benny Friedman.

Finally, here are a couple I had already. The Joe Theismann's I have in a different color. As a veteran baseball card collector I'm inclined to think of a different color as a parallel, but I might be persuaded to let it go in trade. Also available are from restaurants owned by former Giants coach Alex Webster, and Hall-of-Famer Walter Payton.
