I did a trade with Greg over at The Collective Mind and I use that term loosely because he overwhelmed me with such great cards that included football and baseball. Today I'll show off some of the football cards which number approximately 172. Greg did such a good job sending plenty of my Bills and Falcons as well as many PC guys across all different eras and so many different sets. This was truly a fun mail day. Thanks Greg!
Greg took the time to send PC guys. I know grabbing individual players can be time consuming and I do appreciate his doing that.
More than a few 1984 cards were in this package and man was I happy to see them. This is my favorite football set of all-time and just love these cards.
I did not have any football cards that go back to the early 70's - I do now! Plenty of cool cards and these are so fun to add to the collection.
There are so many Falcons and Bills cards that I didn't have. Oh the memories these cards conjur up.
Again this is just a small portion of the football cards. I'll do another post in the next couple days to showcase the baseball cards I received. Again thanks Greg!
Having exchanged items with Greg on more than one occasion now, I can honestly say that he's most certainly one of the most generous blogger's out there!
ReplyDeleteSo right. In so happy with my cards.
Delete1984 Topps is a very nice set, but my favorite here has to be the Falcons "running to daylight" card.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool photo and card. It was an easy pick among all the team cards.
DeleteGlad you didn't have a lot of them. I basically went through most of the set dupes that I had a whole bunch of. I'm always afraid that a team collector who's been at it a while will already have most of the older base Topps. Happy you can give them a good home, and there's more where those came from!
ReplyDeleteI've just started working way through team sets so these were perfect. Thanks again!
DeleteLove the Topps sticker inserts... but gotta wonder if Cribbs like his since he was pictured on the bench. And like Chris... I'm a fan of that Falcons "running to daylight" card. Early 80's Falcons running back? Could it be William Andrews?
ReplyDeleteIt is William Andrews, Falcon legend. If only he had stayed healthy. I also received a sticker of Andrews and they are cool.
