The first I ever collected as a kid. I remember opening the pack and just staring them. Actually seeing the guys without their helmets on. They looked like warriors. I have recently purchased a few cards of this set and the cards still give me the same feeling | ||
Purchased the majority of this set as a teen in the late 60's. They sat in a box in my parents home for 30 years. Recently recovered in excellent condition, still wrapped in cellophane and in cardboard boxes just like I stored them when moving away from home. This find also included some late 50's and early 60's cards for Bart Starr and several other Packers. No rookie card though, darn it! | ||
