1971 Topps Football - anyone else collecting this set?

1971 Topps Football was also my first football cards collected. I think I still have them stored away.

For some reason, I don't remember the posters. Where those included in the 10-cent packs?

It's a fun set and I really appreciate the info that posters have contributed here. Well done.

I've been piecing it together over the last few months. Down to needing just two cards, the Joe Greene rookie and Paul Krause. There are plenty of examples of each on eBay and COMC but I'm patient enough to wait until I find the one in nice condition at a good price.

Yes. In general 70�s inserts only came in wax packs

I recently acquired these cards that appear to have been hand cut from the sheets. Probably by a young fella too, since he evidently had not quite mastered the scissors yet.

Still, these are pretty cool, and the Bradshaw completes another set for me.
That's 18

These are really cool, I love handcut (more like "sheet ripped") cards.

There's this fellow, last name of Moser, who could square those cards right up. Probably end up in a PSA 7 or 8 holder if you front him a few Benjamins.

If you can't find him, call Brent at PWCC. They go way back.

Those are really cool! Maybe not worth getting graded, but cool!

Centered posters in this set are very hard to find.

Thats for sure. I am always looking for the slick paper versions too.
