1960 Topps Football Singles

Product Details

The 1960 Topps Football card set is a very affordable vintage offering. There are a few reasons that contribute to this fact. The big one is the lack of a big-name rookie card. The set has no scarce cards as all were printed in equal amounts. Also, the card stock holds up well, making it easier to build a set in EX condition or better. The pureness of the card design allows the player's picture to dominate the card's landscape, making it one of the better looking sets of the era.

1960 Topps Football has a total of 132 cards. Each measures the standard 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches. It was issued as a single series despite the checklists calling them the first and second series. The only rookie card of note is that of Forrest Gregg (#56). However, what the set lacks in rookie cards it makes up for in star appeal with hobby heavyweights like Jim Brown (#23), Bart Starr (#51) and Johnny Unitas (#1) anchoring the set. Other future Hall of Fame players in the set include Paul Hornung (#54), Frank Gifford (#74), Bobby Layne (#93) and Y.A. Tittle (#113). The set also has the distinction of being the first to showcase cards of the Dallas Cowboys.
