1964 Topps Football cards showcased the era’s biggest stars from the AFL. The checklist contained 176 cards as well as 24 pennant stickers that also included military and college teams.
Hall of Fame inductees Bobby Bell and Buck Buchanan both have their rookie cards in this set and several other Hall of Famers are included in the checklist.
At the time of its release, nickel packs included eight cards and a stick of gum. Among modern collectors, raw single cards regularly command more than an entire box of packs would have in 1964.
There is one major error in this set. The photographs for Ed Rutkowski (#35) and Ray Abruzzese (#22) were swapped. This error was never corrected and probably stung a bit more for Rutkowski as this was his rookie card.
The packaging for this set was featured as card #108 of the 2018 Topps 80th Anniversary Wrapper Art set and sold 243 copies.
