Complete 263-card set represents two series of cards, the second slightly more difficult than the first. Stacked with rookie cards, the most important being running back OJ Simpson, this is one of the more important football sets of the era.  A midgrade grouping, the primary condition issues here relate to centering and light handling, with a technical breakdown being 22% EX, 35% VG-EX, 32% VG, 10% GOOD, and a few lesser.  Key cards grade as follows: #1 Dawson (VG), #10 Griese (VG), #25 Steered (VG-EX), #30 Starr (VG-EX), #43 Bethea (EX), #55 Nietzsche (EX), #59 Page (G), #70 Sayers (VG), #75 Barney (F), #80 Tarkington (G), #85 Biletnikoff (VG), #90 Simpson (EX), #114 Smith (G), #132 Checklist (VG-EX), #15 Namath (VG), #151 Mack (VG/EX), #156 Humphrey (VG-EX), #162 Conk (EX), #180 Unitas (VG-EX), #190 Butkus (EX), #260 Hill (G).  263 cards total.
