Agreed. Great cards of the real Johnny Football! The '63 Unitas has always been my favorite card of his.

Beautiful cards - the 57 really jumped out at me - very nice.

Are you going to go for any cards from non-major issues? Like Bazooka for example.

Yes, over time I will try to pick up all of the Unitas issues I can, and can afford. That Bazooka might be out of range for me. Post, Kellogg's, etc are wants for sure, as well as just the old inserts such as Supers, game cards, glossies, etc.

Great Unitas run!

I never noticed this before and forgive my ignorance if this has been discussed previously but are the 1973 & 1974 Unitas cards from the same photos, or not identical photos but those in the same few negatives as the camera was moved? I have not had a drink today , but it seems the cloud in the background is the same, though he's in a Colts uni in one and Chargers uni in the other, I'm pretty sure that's not Unitas' waist in 1974. He also seems to be wearing the same threadbare undershirt at the sleeves.

Wow, that's interesting. That strikes deep into my memory as I have a fuzzy recollection of having a conversation with my friends about that as a kid but have never thought about it since. You are right, that is definitely the same cloud. Looks like the same undershirt and even scrape on the elbow. Can't say on the waist comment, but he does look pretty trim there. Would love to know the story on that myself.

I've always loved the 1960 topps just for his crazy stare...I'm slowly putting together a run of Unitas cards as well, My wife surprised me last Christmas with a newspaper page featuring the 1974 HOF induction class signed by all 4 inductees(unitas,butkus, Lary, Mix)which is still the best present Ive ever received and the centerpiece of my mancave.
