1965 Philadelphia Football |
1965 was the 2nd year for Philadelphia Gum creating football cards.
Once again, their set had (198) cards, (14) from each team, featuring the rookie cards of
Hall-of-Famers Paul Warfield, Mel Renfro, Dick LeBeau, Carl Eller, Paul Krause and Charley Taylor.
1965 Philadelphia cards came in a variety of packages: nickel wax packs, ten-cent cello packs and 29-cent rack packs.
Making this set a bit special was that for the first time in football card history, the NFL logo appeared on the front
of a card. The logo was Philadelphia Gum Company's way of sticking it to Topps as Philadelphia had the exclusive
to produce NFL cards while Topps was left to printing cards of the then 'lesser' AFL teams and players.
1978 Topps FootballThe 1978 Topps Football set contained (528) cards. The set was jam packed with rookies including: Tony Dorsett, John Stallworth, Jim Smith...Note: You may be on that page right now. |

Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???
Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series.
