1961 Topps NFL/AFL Football set

1961 Topps Football was released in two series. NFL teams comprised card numbers 1-132, while AFL players were printed in the second series with card numbers 133-197. The AFL players are slightly more difficult to find and star players do command a slight premium, particularly card #166, belonging to Jack Kemp.The set also contains key rookies of Don Maynard (#150), Jim Otto (#182), Tom Flores (#186), John Brodie (#59) and Henry Jordan (#45). Other rookies include Boyd Dowler (#43), Johnny Robinson (#139), Art Powell (#151) and Lionel Taylor (#190). Common condition issues impacting the 1961 Topps Football card set include chipping on the blue-border on the back of the cards, as well as bleed-through to the fronts of cards stored next to them in stacks/boxes. My raw set would grade Ex/MT on average with a few better.
