1994 Ted Williams Football Part 1

I knew about the baseball cards from Ted Williams Card Company but until a few days ago I had never seen the football set.  Like its two baseball cousins this 90 card set from 1994 is made up entirely of retired players.  I couldn't resist it for around seven bucks shipped.

Here's one of the subsets called "Golden Arms".  Indeed.

Pack Break -- 2008 UD Football Heroes

I don't buy many loose packs these days but whenever I'm in Target I do check the  $1.59 "power packs".  A while back I came across two, a 2008 and a 2009 UD Football Heroes.  Here's the first:

Steve Vai seems like a pretty cool dude.

 

I hated this guy but I respect his accomplishments.  I'm still looking for an on-card auto but I've never found one at the price I want.

 Big injury kept him out all of 2008.  He's playing now, 11 tackles, no INT's.

This video features coincidentally the player above (Good) and below (Bad).

 Garrard had a great game last Sunday against the Cowboys, 17-21. 260 yards, 4 TD's.

Lastly an art card of the Bears Devin Hester.  Teams have stopped kicking to him again after he returned two more punts for touchdowns.

1971 Topps Football Card Game Part 1

1971 Topps Football packs included a game complete with playing field. I don't recall how the various inserts were distributed.

These posters came folded with the cards. When opened they are about 6-3/4" X 4-3/4".


The back of the poster has instructions for playing the game, a scoreboard, and a football field to play the game on.



This is another insert used, when cut in half, to be the ball marker and first down chains.


Stay tuned. Tomorrow I'll show you some of the game cards.
