Default Nice run!

I am a big Johnny Unitas fan too.
Not a Colts fan necessarily,but Johnny was the legend when I was growing up.
He was near the tail end of his career when I started collecting FB cards in 1970, but like you...I have gone back to do a run of his cards. I still need quite a few, but I secured the 57 earlier this year.

Much like our dearly departed Yogi, our favorite QB was not particularly handsome and Topps didn't do him many favors on the choice of photos they used for his card

It's hard to believe that it's been 13 years since he passed. Or that he set a record with 32 TD passes way back in 1959.

What is your favorite card? I assume not counting the rookie card?
His poses were not too creative either, but I kinda like the look on the 58 Topps.
