Good Work Daze Fan!!! I couldn't tell by his face myself until I blew it up.

I hope he gets a good owner to work for this year, he certainly deserves it!

Good job! You know your old Steelers!

I'll post the complete card on the 60's scans thread.

[1968 A's]

My oldest brother was the football collector in the family.....he collected from 67 to 75 and from 78 to sometime in the early 80's.....he was a huge Dolphins fan in the early 70's and somehow turned into a 49'ers fan and is a 49'ers fan to this day.  I remember looking at his cards with him back in the day....I guess I was 8 or 9 before he actually let me touch them but only then with a threat to break my arm if I messed them up. 

Good memories! I remember trying to get all those little football posters in the '71 set I believe. Only like 1 per every 5 packs or something. But later on I put them on my bulletin board for a backing and put tons of thumb tack holes through em, ruined just about all of em!

Yeah you're right Kirk and forgot to tell you very good guess because only the ALL PRO players got the all black frame that year. A completely different looking card than the regular '74's

[1968 A's]

Who's this guy? year and make?

[captkirk42]

Only know half of it. Topps 1971. Guessing Mike Garrett?

You guessed right. USC's Mike Garrett 1965 Heisman Winner. Known mainly as a KC Chief in the pros. The other USC Heisman back of that era is still making the headlines

All right, Get your binoculars out, my scanner doesn't like the tiny ones. Makes it a tougher question anyway. What is this card? To what set does it belong?

C'mon, somebody take a shot at it.

All right, I'll give this one more day. and..This is the final clue:

An insert game set of a regular Topps Football set WHAT YEAR?

[kamikid]

1974 Topps thats where its from right?

[Daze_fan]

1971 Topps game

[1968 A's]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes 1971 insert set of Topps regular series. One in every wax pack accompanied a mini poster which on the back side was a football field where you played this game on. i.e. 4 yard gain, 2 yd. loss, TD etc. 53 cards in the set and 32 different posters.
Many of the posters I remember throwing away because I wrote on them like you were kinda supposed to do to keep track of your yardage playing the game. I liked the idea but the game was a bit boring. I'd take out the Mattel Talking Football or the Electric Football game out instead of wasting time with that stuff. LOL. Also I much rather Topps would have stuck with their 1970 style of posters which were real collectors items! About twice the size of the '71's the 24 poster set was printed on a thicker stock of paper AND were not photographs! They were all hand painted works of art. Yes, Wow! Still got a couple of those!

[1968 A's]

Very good Tim! Yes we'd love to see them
