Presented is an imposing group of 1970s Topps football and hockey cards from vending, a largely pristine array headlined by more than 80 Hall of Famers and even more stars and Specials. All three groups reveal the coveted “Vending Bend” that bespeaks of uncirculated cardboard, and all three are confronted with varying degrees of centering issues that are common to the genre. In the listing below, the card listed is the player’s regular-issue version unless otherwise indicated. Here’s the breakdown: 1) 1974 Topps Football (290) – essentially Near-Mint or better, with some below and barely more than one dozen miscuts – roster includes the likes of Bell, Bradshaw, Dierdorf, Eller, Ham, Hannah Rookie, Harris (3), Hayes, Lilly (3), Little, Marshall, Otto (4) – one is m/c, Riggins, Simpson, Shell, Stabler, Upshaw, Dwight White, Wright (2) and Youngblood, plus 10 Specials; 2) 1974 Topps Hockey (160) – Ex-Mt to Near-Mint, with some below, including 40 cards with a Diamond Cut – roster includes Cherry, Delvecchio (2) o/c, Dryden o/c, Geoffrion, Goldsworthy o/c, Martin (2) d/c, Parent, Park (2) d/c, Perreault, Potvin Rookie d/c, Salming Rookie d/c, Savard and Shero, plus Series Two Checklist – VG-Ex, seven Trophies subset – six are Diamond Cuts, and a dozen Specials; and 3) 1975 Topps Football (350) – Near-Mint or better with some below and excellent color and gloss, including 30 Diamond Cuts and perhaps 20 percent of the group having the kind of centering that might prompt thoughts of an upgrade, though not all of those would be severe enough to dictate an off-center designation – roster includes key Rookies like Swann (2), Fouts (2), Theismann (2), Blount (3 – one is m/c) and Blier (2), plus cards from Barney, Bell, Biletnikoff, Buchanon, Culp (2), Guy (2), Hendricks, Humphries (2), Krause, Lanier, Lilly, Little, Morris (2), Olsen, Riggins (2) – one is Diamond Cut, Simpson, Tarkenton, Upshaw (2), Wagner (2), Wehrli, (3), White and Youngblood, plus 28 Specials.
