Is this the missing from the NFLGSIS or from the Gamebook committee or both? I have noticed a couple times NFLGSIS has one the that is not on gamebooks committee and vice versa.
From both. I tried not to include unreadable gamebooks. Quite a few Jets and Lions gamebooks fit in that category.
If you a see a game (or games) that shouldn't be on the list mention it here or email me and I'll update the list.

I'd guess it's a month of work minimum, time spent not working on your day job, if you me a living absent a day job (congrats first of all) it's still a month in a hotel in Canton, probably a couple grand. Finally, compared to a decade ago, the place is basically on lock down, you probably could have done some sort of assembly line type thing back then. If it were easy, it already would have been done.
I'm debating taking a week's vacation to Canton next year just to sit in the HOF archives every day copying game books.

Filled in the Lions and Eagles gamebooks as well. So the total is now 1766.
What seasons do you have for the Lions and Eagles?
