New in the Gallery: 1971 Bazooka Football Cards

1971 Bazooka Gale Sayers football cardYesterday I added 1971 Bazooka football cards to the Vintage Football Card Gallery. There are 36 cards in the set, with at least one player from each of the 26 NFL teams. The cards were printed, three per box, on the bottoms of 25-cent boxes of Bazooka bubble gum. There are nice pictures of two empty boxes in the Redskins Football Card Museum.

I wouldn’t categorize the set as either a regular issue or a food issue, so I’m filing them under Oddball. A big thanks to Mike Ford for providing the images.

    There’s also images for two of the complete uncut boxes on my website in the Card Gallery, under Inserts & non-Standard Sets.

    I like the changes you made to your main gallery page BTW.
