The second set is not nearly as colorful as the initial set, as the signs have a white background and feature either the team helmet
or the team logo
on the card with a generic player in the team's uniform. Once again the size is 8 x 11.5 inches (slightly taller than a 1 pocket sheet) and the backs are blank. There are 26 signs in the set.
Here is a sample of some of the team signs:
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Colts
Cincinnati Bengals
Dallas Cowboys
Houston Oilers
Kansas City Chiefs
Miami Dolphins
New Orleans Saints
New York Giants
New York Jets
San Diego Chargers
San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Cardinals
Washington Redskins
And finally, here is a picture of 25 of the 26 teams (the picture is missing the Vikings):
Wow- I totally had a half dozen of these as a kid, and finding them years later had no idea where they originated. I love this blog! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear from someone who remembers these as a kid. Thanks for your compliments on the site.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased the 1973 Miami Dolphins big sign and it is truly a walk down memory lane, I had it as a child. This is a prime example of a low cost collectible, that even though it is not high end; it makes one's collection just a bit shinier. Thanks and Go Fins!
ReplyDeleteHI
ReplyDeleteI remember some Fleer sticker inserts with the packs in the early eighties but never knew about the other sticker sets and it puts me to shame as I am a Saints fan and need to hunt some things down now. Thanks for a cool blog.
Thanks,
Bill
I was cleaning the basement and found a box full of these.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what they are worth? thanks
