Football Cards of the Super70s

By Patrick Mondout

Welcome to our look at the football cards of the Super70s! We've got pages for all the major sets of the decade (and the Awesome80s too) as well as a complete checklists. Use the links on the left (under the green heading "Football Cards") to get started.

A number of memorable sets were produced in the Super70s. There was the 1970 Kellogg's 3D set, the hard to find O-Pee-Chee Canadian Football League sets of 1970, 1971, and 1972, and the super rare Topps Mexican set of 1977. Unfortunately, no one thought it worthwhile to print WFL cards (unlike the Topps ABA, O-Pee-Chee WHA, and later Topps USFL issues). Still, it was a great decade for football cards with more cards than ever before.

For those of you who collected gridiron cards in the Super70s, enjoy your trip down memory lane! For everyone else, check out what the cards were like before overproduction destroyed the hobby for us set collectors.
