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.

1984 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
The (2) top rookie cards that year were of players who never made
the Hall-of-Fame but they sure had impact. Both played in the
'Big Apple'. Darryl Strawberry with the Mets and Don Mattingly
across town with the Yankees.
Mattingly was the top firstbaseman nearly every year he played but
his career was cut short by injury.
Strawberry's played 17 years in which many he was a top star.
It's likely that other factors kept him out of the Hall.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
