Complete set of 1965 Philadelphia Football, the Philadelphia Gum Company's second full set after acquiring the exclusive rights to publish NFL football cards beginning in previous year. Known for rampant centering issues, the offered 1965 set is no exception, with numerous miscut cards that would rank as high-grade if not for the lack of quality control. Despite any centering issues the set boasts sharp corners and gorgeous images throughout, with nearly every card remaining crisp and well preserved. A condition breakdown of the set is as follows: 1% NM-MT, 28% NM, 47% EX-MT, 8% EX, 5% VG-EX, 1% VG.
Six rookie cards of Hall of Famers are present, along with several other key cards: 12 Johny Unitas (EX-MT), 19 Mike Ditka (VG-EX), 31 Jim Brown (EX-MT), 41 Paul Warfield RC (EX), 47 Bob Lilly (EX-MT), 53 Mel Renfro RC, 64 Dick LeBeau RC (NM), 76 Paul Hornung (NM), 81 Bart Starr (EX-MT), 105 Carl Eller RC (EX), 189 Paul Krause RC (VG), 195 Charley Taylor RC (EX). 198 cards total.
