Lot 313:
Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! This is a large collection of vintage Topps football cards spanning the years 1971, 1972, and 1973. The lot contains several hundred raw, ungraded cards from three distinct sets. The 1971 series is represented by numerous cards featuring the characteristic red and blue borders with cartoon player illustrations in the lower corners. Notable cards from this year include Hall of Famers John Unitas (Colts), Bart Starr (Packers), Gale Sayers (Bears), and Deacon Jones (Rams). The 1972 series includes cards with large block-lettered team names at the top, highlighted by the Archie Manning rookie card (Saints) and a second-year Terry Bradshaw (Steelers), along with Larry Csonka (Dolphins) and Fran Tarkenton (Vikings). The 1973 series, identified by blue borders and team names at the bottom, features key players such as Dick Butkus (Bears). The collection includes a mix of stars, semi-stars, and common players from the era.
