I collected all three of the baseball Topps Turkey Red sets when they came out, and the 2006 football series. I have a beautiful George Washington box topper from the 06 footballs picturing him at prayer that I love. The modern size base cards also had a few presidents that I enjoyed trying to get in every color (Ford, Reagan, Grant, Kennedy). There was an insert series in one of the baseball sets showing all the presidents in the T9 design I liked too.
I hadn’t realized Johnson was in the series. I have my own checklist of modern boxing cards that have appeared in other sports sets but this one was not even on my list. I need to find one of these now, it will look gorgeous next to the original showing both the sets designs.
I’m a big fan of the Panini Golden Age sets too.
