PLEASE NOTE -
Cards that I need that you might have around are listed first.
All the rest of the stuff is not easy to find, except maybe the OPeeChees, pre-1968 hockey, Sportscasters and a few of the exhibit cards.
1968 Topps
I am collecting both cream and bright white cardboard backs. On puzzle backs, you have to look at the edge of the card to tell the cream from the white.
Need cream (yellowish white) backs for these (5 cards):1 Starr 25 Meredith 149 Kemp 161 Tarkenton 181 Lilly
Need bright white backs for these (13 cards): 52 65 Namath 88 Jurgenson 100 Unitas 129 132 159 160 Taylor 162 Ditka 168 Belitnikoff 173 Little 178 196 Griese
Or I could use any sports cards, prior to 1969, that are in decent enough shape for possible upgrades or to replenish my dups box to pay it forward.
