I had a second year Joe Willie Namath that was in beautiful shape. Traded it for two boxes of 89 UD wax. Busted them open and again I was DENIED! ARRRRRGGGGHHHH.

But, who knew then that football cards would eventually become more desirable.
I also had a 1968 Topps Football set that had the entire second series blue backs. I bought them from Card Collector Company for not very much. That and some other sets were traded for 89 Upper Deck Factory sets.
Yes those football cards were worthless early on 70’s & 80,s , couldnt give them way. Lol
