New in the Vintage Football Card Gallery: 1964 Topps CFL Cards
December 22nd, 2012 | Published in CFL Cards, New in the Gallery
This week I added 1964 Topps CFL cards to the Vintage Football Card Gallery. There are 88 cards in the set: nine or ten cards for each of the CFL teams, plus two nearly identical checklists. The card pictured here is Sherman Lewis, who placed third in Heisman voting in 1963 (see my page of Heisman candidates), played in the CFL in 1964 and 1965, played for the New York Jets in 1966 and 1967, and went on to a long coaching career in college and the NFL. Sherman was an assistant coach with four Super Bowl championship teams: three with San Francisco and one with Green Bay.
I filed the 1964 set under–what else?–Canadian football cards. Watch for four more CFL sets in the next few weeks.
