Thanks Jeff. Were the sets other than 55 AA current players while 55 AA was historic?

Default Hi John--

The 1951 Topps Magic issue is made up of 75 then-current college players only. It is a very condition sensitive set because of poor quality control in cutting & many blurred images.

The reverse had a question w/ a silver scratch-off answer section that could easily take part of the card surface w/ it!

Thanks Fred. I just looked over the checklist - I recognized about 10 or so of the names at first glance. I think that must be the same Bill Wade who quarterbacked the Bears to a championship in the early 60s - I think that team had a pretty good defense too.

Yes, all of current players. These sets don't get a lot of love because they are Ugly but there are definitely some stars in them.

Here are some of the 1950 Felt Back stars.

Thanks Jeff - those feltbacks look tiny - how were they distributed? I wonder if the rarity increased any because kids just lost them.

They were distributed in a Topps product called Varsity Bubble Gum. Here is a complete Varsity Bubble Gum pack affixed to a Get Well card that Topps must have released as a promotion. The gum is still in the wrapper. I took the Felt Back card out.



I picked this up as a companion piece to my set a while ago.

Great stuff in this thread.
Picking a favorite card out of 1000's is tough.
Today, this is my favorite. I love the early Bowmans, and I especially like this one because of the diving towards the camera to catch the ball, angle. Next week I may find a new favorite.

Funny, this is one of my favorites too, because of the detail in the tufts of grass being kicked up by him.
