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.
