Can anybody tell me something or two about Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings in the late 60's?

I am going to be giving a tour of the base to him this weekend for some public affairs deal. Was he that good back in the day? any of you old farts remember him?

Would it be worth my while to go find an old football card of his and have him sign it?

thanks in advance

Jim Marshall was a very good pass rushing DE,but was very light where opposing teams ran right at him.One of the incidents that he was known for was picking up a fumble against SF & running the wrong way for what seemed like 70 yards.
