This is a very substantial array of attractive college football programs from the second half of the 20th century, many from some of the storied names in college football history, most notably from Notre Dame, Army, Navy, the Big Ten and Pac 10, along with a particular emphasis from the Ivy League. Almost all of the programs are in a highly collectible Excellent to Near-Mint condition, with grades improving with later decades as might be anticipated. A subgroup of 45 from the 1950s includes an Indiana/Pitt matchup from 1951 and that aforementioned Ivy League emphasis, including multiple pubs from Havard, Yale, Brown, Princeton and Cornell. The 1960s array (20) includes three from the Air Force and others involving Indiana, Iowa, California, Kansas, Colgate, Oregon State, SMU and Rice, among others. Classic contests like the 1973 Army/Notre Dame game or 1975 Navy/Air Force headline a group of six (6) programs from that decade; a legendary Notre Dame/Alabama clash from 1987 stands out in a group of three (3) from the 1980s. The remaining nine programs includes headliners of three Army/Navy matchups from 1991, 1994 and 1999.
