This is an unusual lot featuring an enormous number of Football Hall of Famers from primarily Topps inset issues from the late 1960’s and 1970’s, headlined by a sparkling group of the elegant 1970 Topps Super Glossies that includes 10 HOFers. The largest group of roughly 150 “cards” is from the quirky 1969 Topps Four-in-One Stamps issue, but in this instance the stamps have been separated from their original 2 ½-by-3 ½-inch format. Here’s a chronological breakdown: 1968 Topps Standups (40), including eight unperforated. Group is largely Very Good to Excellent, with the eight unperforated – Blanks, Gabriel, Richardson (2), Snead (2), Hadl and Hart – and the remainder reasonably well perforated – Little (3), Karras (2), Meredith and Gabriel; 1969 Topps Four-in-One Stamps (approximately 150), separated, with a wide condition range including perhaps 1/3 or so that have been removed from booklets – Sayers, Csonka, Griese (2), Dawson (2), Tarkenton (2), Starr, Buoniconti, Kelly, Little, Alworth, Atkins and Biletnikoff, plus three Albums with a few Stamps affixed – Chargers, Packers and Rams; 1970 Topps Super Glossies (34) – generally Near-Mint, with only a few with any cracking, including Kelly (2), Hayes, Biletnikoff (2), Wood, Little, Dawson and Tarkenton (Poor); 1971 Topps Football Game (9) – Most about Ex-Mt but some with discolored backs, including Simpson, Wood, Little, Alworth and Starr (Fair); and Buffalo Bills Stamps (12) – most neatly cut, including Kemp (Fair) and Simpson (Poor); plus a dozen other miscellaneous cards,
