Topps was well into producing football sets by the time these cards were issued, and the visually pleasing pasteboards listed below are proof of that. This substantial collection has cards from the years 1968 thru 1974, with a focus on years '69 and '70. A nice assembly of stars, minor stars and commons; in fact, a good number of players (over 10%) are HOFers.
