Presented is a complete set of the intriguing 1969 Topps Football issue, one of the more unusual Topps productions from the era in that it boasts two distinct design styles within a single set. The offered array is in essentially Excellent to Near-Mint condition, with some below and the emphasis probably to Ex-Mt. As noted, the set is unusual in having two different design styles: Series One (Nos. 1-132) has borderless cards with colorful panels that bleed to the edge, while Series Two has the traditional white border as a design element. In all instances in the listing that follows, the card shown is the player’s regular-issue Topps card unless otherwise indicated.
