Mike, incredible collection! What years do football run? Topps Baseball is '52-'67, Bowman '54-'55. Did Bowman issue football samples, and did Topps start with the '55 AA's? Did Philly gum issue any?

Richard, PM me your email address and I will forward you the scans.
Anthøny, the earliest sample I have seen is 1956 Topps. I have not seen a '55 AA but it would make sense a sample might exist. I have Topps FB samples through 1964. What is interesting is for the '62 Football, while I do not own a sample, I do own a pamphlet that was issued advertising the cards to stores and jobbers. I'll see if I can post the image. I have not seen Bowman samples, but have seen a 12 card 1964 Philly sample. |

Here are the images of the four-page 1962 Topps FB pamphlet.

I found a couple other samples of Topps FB advertising. There was some discussion regarding a 3 card 1973 Topps FB panel. Those panels were not advertising pieces and have been offered for sale by the Topps vault over the years. Here is the '73 advertising panel (heavy glossy paper):

Mike, those look more like sell sheets than ad panels. It's on glossy paper, not card stock, correct? Are there cards printed on the reverse?
