This is your classic childhood football card collection, with the greatest emphasis on the 1970s and beyond, with almost all carefully installed in nine-pocket sheets in (largely) team-oriented fashion. With Hall of Famers lurking on virtually every page, the massive grouping presents a real opportunity for a savvy bidder willing to poke through the pile for treasures. In short, this is the kind of lot that would have fit right in at the legendary Saturday night auctions at the iconic Willow Grove shows outside Philadelphia in the 1980s. As noted, almost all the cards remain in their original binders; about five dozen or so of the cards are actually 1970s Topps Basketball, again with some of the legendary figures from the era included in the mix.
