Yahoo! I FINALLY obtained the last card (#319 FRANK LEWIS of the Pittsburgh Steelers) that I needed to complete my set of 1977 Topps Mexican football cards that I’ve been working on. WOW that was quite a challenge.

If anyone needs any specific cards to complete their set, just provide me a list and I’ll see if I can help. Now that I’m finally done gathering the cards I needed to complete my set, I will now be focusing on selling all of the duplicates that I’ve accumulated over the years. My email address is metrologize@yahoo.com

I just came across this website and do not consider myself a collector but do have in my possession 285 cards of this set that I received from my cousin residing in Mexico City, DF back in the mid-1980's. I am currently 63 years old and came across this collection of cards that have been in storage at my residence recently. I have canvass several card collection business in the Sacramento, Ca region but have not come across any who possess theses cards only have heard or read of them. So, some one out there, if you are interested in completing your set, please reach out to me. I do possess 8 of the 12 "Dirty Dozen" as referenced in the overview of this collection.On another note, I do keep in contact with my cousin so I could ask him if he still has any childhood friends that he grew up with in Mexico City that may still possess these cards.

I live in Mexico and vividly remember my parents buying me packages of this set. As the years went by most of my cards got lost. In recent times I've had the chance to get my hands into a handful of them, which I really love. They're hard to find items even here in Mexico. 1977 was the time when NFL games started being aired in Mexican TV stations, so it was a good way to help start a Mexican football fandom.

Even though his position is incorrect on the front of the card, ( he was a running back) the card maker does have his position correct on the back. "Corredor de bola" is translated, "Runner of the ball".
