This is a blazing example of the 1976 Topps Football issue, found here in essentially Near-Mint to Near-Mint to Mint condition, with the emphasis probably Near-Mint and the Hall of Famers and keys largely matching the broader condition range. It is simply a striking example, with great color and gloss and nice centering, a remarkably consistent presentation that is almost unimprovable. A breakdown of the keys and Hall of Famers: No. 1 Record Breaker – Ex-Mt, 24 Lanier – Ex-Mt, 75 Bradshaw – Nr-Mt o/c, 116 Smith – Ex-Mt, 128 Fouts – Ex-Mt, 148 Payton (graded PSA 6), 180 Greenwood – Ex-Mt, 231 Theismann –Ex-Mt, 273 Checklist (presents Ex but all boxes are marked), 300 Simpson – Nr-Mt, 377 Smith – Nr-Mt, 385 Marshall – Nr-Mt, 426 Jaworski – Nr-Mt, 480 Blount – Nr-Mt, 500 Tarkenton – Ex-Mt-Plus, and 525 Jones – Ex.
