First two packs of Football cards I ever bought at a local convenience store. Of course, I kept the cards together with a rubber band. :D And yes, I chewed the gum. That same year I got to meet the Chargers O line and they autographed a photo for me.

A few hidden RCs of Hall of Famers and a delightful design makes this another must-have football set from the 1970s!

What I like about this set is that many of the team leaders on the team leader cards, such as Tony Dungy, do not have regular cards in this set. If you add these players up, this turns out to be one of the largest sets.
