1983 Topps Football

OBC has moved from a 1984 project to a 1983 project. Ken Goetsch sent me five PWEs stuffed with most of my remaining needs for the '83 Topps football set.

Some big stars here like Dorsett and Fouts. But I also like the card of the Eagles punter trying to look tough on the sidelines.

Some big-time kicking cards here.

Lots of star power especially at the end of the set. But also fun are cards like Roland James on the Gatorade-phone.

Ken also sent 16 cards from the sticker insert set. Lots of big names, a real mix of players from before my time who seem like they were from a much older era, and players who were big stars when I started following football a few years later. And check out that Dan Fouts image compared to the one in the first photo.

Some more great action photos. LT sighting! That Wesley Walker card is cool. I recently saw it on Night Owl's blog, where I learned that it is the same photo as on his 1986 1000 Yard insert card. I have had that card since 1986 so it was cool to learn it was originally from 1983.
