This is a really nice example of the 1970 Topps Football set, found here in basically Ex-Mt to Near-Mint condition, with some below the range and with the emphasis probably to Ex-Mt. It is a very nice, uniform presentation, missing only card No. 251 Davidson. Perhaps six dozen cards have centering that might prompt an upgrade, though not all of those would necessarily be affixed with an off-center designation. Here’s the breakdown: No. 1 Dawson – Ex, 9 Checklist – Ex-Mt, 10 Griese – Nr-Mt, 20 Kelly – Nr-Mt, 30 Starr – Nr-Mt, 55 Nitschke – Nr-Mt o/c, 59 Page – Nr-Mt, 62 Mackey – Nr-Mt, 70 Sayers – Nr-Mt o/c, 71 Jordan – Ex-Mt-Plus, 73 Hadl – Nr-Mt o/c, 75 Barney – Nr-Mt, 80 Tarktenton – Nr-Mt o/c, 90 Simpson – Nr-Mt o/c, 104 Turner – Ex-Mt o/c, 114 Smith – Nr-Mt, 116 Otto – Nr-Mt, 125 Jones – Nr-Mt o/c, 130 Brodie – Nr-Mt o/c, 132 Checklist – Nr-Mt, 145 Taylor – Nr-Mt, 150 Namath – Nr-Mt o/c, 154 Bell – Nr-Mt, 162 Csonka – Nr-Mt o/c, 175 Eller – Ex-Mt-Plus, 180 Unitas – Ex-Mt-Plus, 189 Hayes – Nr-Mt, 190 Butkus – Nr-Mt, 200 Jurgensen – Nr-Mt, 213 Marshall – Nr-Mt., 237 Olsen – Nr-Mt, 240 Alworth – Nr-Mt, 244 Buoniconti – Nr-Mt, 249 Karras – Ex-Mt-Plus, 254 Maynard o/c, and 261 Wood – Ex-Mt-Plus.
