Picked up three more 1977 Mexicans this month, up to 143/528. The last player to wear my favorite number #00, Ken Burrough. Only two more players to finish my Steel Curtain of the set (Lambert & Greenwood) with this addition of the hard-hitting Mel Blount. And a very solid defensive lineman, Julius Adams, who I was very happy to see get in a Super Bowl with the Pats (well past his prime), though it was unfortunately a beat down at the hands of the punishing Bears 46 D.

One of the many interesting aspects of this set is the use of the Spanish masculine ending "os", and feminine "as", and the teams they were ascribed to "petroleros", "acereros", v. the "patriotas" in this example. So much to uncover in this set....
