Really ramped up my collecting during the 77 and 78 seasons, I was nuts about Cowboys cards (my NFC team). That is also when I began collecting vintage football and baseball with a keen focus on 1950's items (not bad for a 10 year old).
My all-time favorite 70's football card is the 1975 Pruitt. As a Browns fan (my AFC team) I had always hoped that Mean Joe Green wouldn't catch and eat him (I was 8 years old).

No, not bad at all for a 10 year old. We must be the same age or just a year apart. That being said, as a 10 year old, I loved cards but other than the 1969 Topps Football cards I had, I was clueless about vintage cards at the time.
The Pruitt card is one of the BEST football cards of the 70s from an action and style standpoint IMHO.
