Here’s a chance to pick up a highly attractive, essentially Excellent to Near-Mint example of the popular 1967 Philadelphia Gum Football issue, a near set that features a huge array of PSA-slabbed cards that offer a nice glimpse into the wider condition range. It’s a nice, consistent presentation, providing a clean, uniform look to an important issue, indeed, the final of four football sets that the Philadelphia Gum Co. produced in the mid-1960s. There are a total of 30 missing numbers and some light duplication elsewhere from a total of 204 cards; the list of missing cards appears at the end of this entry.
