Early 70s football - what was lost!
I think some of us have touched on this topic a bit before, but Topps losing the license to show team insignia on their cards for several years in the 70s really cost us some stunningly beautiful cards. The ugly airbrushing that was put in place left a lot to be desired. A few months back, I picked up some Topps production match prints, I guess they could best be termed, and what was lost is fairly striking. Interesting that they had to obscure the NFL patch as well.
