Fun with a '76 proof sheet
 
2 Attachment(s)
So - trying to get things a bit more organized (although my efforts are no doubt futile), I pulled out this Topps proof sheet I picked up several years ago. First of all, sorry for the lighting - living in New York we don't see the sun much until May or so - but I enjoyed looking for differences between these and the regular issued cards. When I picked it up, I knew the Rich Saul was different, since I could hardly read his name in the yellow font, but I thought some of the others seemed odd as well. Must be the guys doing the proofing realized that some color combinations end up being like those color blind test cards that eye doctors use! The Cowboys (with Randy White's rookie card), Redskins (Theismann), Falcons, Chiefs and Dolphins all had the color of the team name changed. These are hard to read, but I think I like the color schemes in these cards better - kind of a groovy 70s feel! And in an unrelated note, check out Mike Barnes, listed as a Defensive Tackle! I think Vince Wilfork has snacks bigger than him!
