More of My Favorite Pose

As I’ve written before, my favorite pose on a football card pictures the player about to put on his helmet. It’s fun seeing old helmets on cards, but if the players are wearing them, you can’t see their faces. Here are a few examples; for more, see an old post, My Favorite Pose.

1967 Philadelphia Gail Cogdill and 1968 Topps Junior Coffey:
1968 Topps Dan Reeves and 1969 Topps J.R. Wilburn:
