Vintage Football Trade Pickups

I highly recommend you vintage baseball fans add other sports to your arsenal. Lots of great stuff to be got for much less of the moneys. Or in this case, many fewer of my vintage baseball doubles.

 

 

Like these excellent 1955 Bowmans. Each in hypermint-10 condition. This is great looking set of which I only have 44 of the 160. Unacceptable.

 

 

Couple of Hall of Famers in this Topps pile - Ron Mix and Paul Krause. 1961, 1968, 1969, 1971, in that order, for those unaware.

 

 

Two from my favorite 70's football set, 1972 Topps. Upshaw is a Hall of Famer and famously the NFLPA head for a while. Lyle Alzado was in "Ernest Goes to Camp", and that kicks ass.

 

John Hannah is probably the best guard of all time. His 1975 Topps is now mine. And we have a 1977 Fleer, bottom left. Fleer made sets of all action shots in the 70s, which seemed to be against the law at the time based on every Topps set. Also, I think those 74's would look better if the photos abutted the field goal posts. I hate that black box and white strip. Also, the posts really highlight the 'standard vintage card miscutting threshold'.

 

Some great players to pick off some 70s set needs, including Mean Joe Greene watching some kid grab his Coke and contemplating murder.

 

Chip, chip, chippin' away.

 

Go Redlegs.
