1969 Topps FB

The 1969 Topps Football card set includes a checklist of 263 total cards, making it the largest football card set ever produced, at that time. It was also the first time that the price of a pack of cards had increased. Wax packs were no longer merely a nickel, as 1969 saw the price double to ten cents. Additionally, it would be the last Topps Football card release before the merger of the AFL and NFL. Measuring the standard 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, the set is anchored by several future Hall of Fame players, including Gale Sayers (#51), Joe Namath (#100) and Dick Butkus (#139) to name a few. Key rookie cards in the set belong to Brian Piccolo (#26) and Larry Csonka (#120).
