Offered is an unheard of group of 30 complete and near-complete sets of 1974 Topps football, with all cards deriving from vending boxes purchased directly from Topps. These sets were hand-collated by Leland's from an enormous accumulation of 1974 Topps vending cards, from the very boxes opened by our consignor back in 1974. These sets grade MOSTLY EX/MT to NM/MT, with many, many MINT cards throughout. A vast majority of cards have razor sharp corners, and have that fresh vending look and feel. Centering is somewhat an issue, thus our designation of EX/MT to NM/MT overall. While the set is bereft of high dollar rookie cards (only Ahmad Rashad is a participant), all the great stars of the day are here including two OJ Simpson cards (his regular and #1 RB card), Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, George Blanda, Franco Harris, Dick Butkus and even an aging Johnny Unitas, who makes his last football card appearance. MISSING CARDS (for 30 complete high grade sets): #1 OJ Simpson (15), #105 Rashad RC (5) and #150 Unitas (10). Only missing 30 cards for 30 complete sets! This is a tremendous opportunity for a dealer to corner the market on 1974 Topps football sets, all fresh to the market from a long time held collection.
