Let's see some football cards!

1965 Topps #52 Goose Gonsoulin got into a fight once when a teammate stole his helmet (just kidding). The original Bronco selected first in 1960. Started 61 NFL games in a row and his 11 interceptions in 1960 is still a Bronco record? Wow he just passed away 9/8/14.

1966 Topps #15 Why Topps Why?

Larry, great stuff! I agree, "WHY?" about the funny ring checklist. I also like the taped name on Gooses helmet, must have been a training camp picture.

Here is another 1963 purple/blue sky pair of Bernie Casey. After a successful 7-year football career, including a pro-bowl nomination, Bernie began a successful acting career. He played in such films as "Sharkey's Machine", "Never Say Never Again", "Spies Like Us" and "Revenge of the Nerds", along with numerous other films.

Richard: I have a few of these purple/blue sky cards in my collection. When I see a stack of '63s at a card show, I always take a peek I grew up in Southern California and was a Rams fan. I know these Bell Brand cards exist, but don't have any of the football cards in my collection. I have some of the Bell Brand baseball cards.

Same here. I always pick up the purple sky versions when I find them, especially the SP's of the set. I also grew up in SoCal and had Bell Brand Dodger cards, but didn't realize the Rams cards existed until much later in my collecting life, like the early 1980's.

1967 Topps #116 Ben Davidson ( nice moustache ) didn't play High School football because of his height 6'8" and had a ten year NFL career. Involved in a bench clearing brawl vs KC Chiefs in 1970 when he speared Len Dawson while Dawson was on the ground. Did TV and commercial work after his NFL days, and passed in 2012 prostate cancer.

1968 Topps #19 Keith Lincoln. A nice picture of Keith but I like this card because of the stadium in the background. It appears to be Buffalo War Memorial Stadium and there are some cool images on google. It was demolished in 1987 and even hosted a NASCAR race in 1958. Back to Keith. He had an eight year AFL career selected AFL All-American five times. Caught a 91yard TD in 1961 and he ran back a 103 yard kickoff for a TD in 1962. War Memorial Stadium looked awesome and Keith wasn't to bad his-self.
