Football?

[Robs70sCards]

When I was a kid I bought a lot of 78 79 and some 80, but I had found ACDC, Van Halen and Led Zeppelin by that November, so cards no longer seemed important :-D I had a bunch of 72s and 73s as a kid but very few from other years for football, which was probably 2/3 of the size of my old baseball cards. I lost them all years ago in a move, or I should say they were probably stolen. I had the Staubach rookie and a bunch of others, sigh.

So far I've contemplated collecting the 78-80 sets for nostalgia's sake, and maybe the 72 and 73 sets, but I haven't pulled the trigger on anything. Adding: outside of the 72s, the football card designs of the 70s are kind of lacking IMO.

I do football as well as baseball, hockey too, all concentrated in the '70s as far as sets and then older vintage stars from all three.

I have a few hundred football cards but don't actively collect them anymore. I do collect Wanderlei Silva MMA cards and pick up a few singles of other fighters once in a while.

I ripped football wax for a few years in the latter half of the 60s. Still have them. But as another member states above, once I turned 18...

I collect both

I have exactly two football cards in my collection. Both are of HOFer Billy Shaw and both are signed by him. He is a friend of mine who lives in my town so if I come across a cheep one I pick it up. Extremely nice person with great stories as you could imagine.

Mostly baseball, and soley Japanese modern cards, but I do have a 1979 Topps Football set and am working (slowly) on the 1975 Topps football set. I also have football sets of Cotton Bowl cards, 30+ 1951 Bowman football, and 3-4 Dallas Cowboys Police sets...
