1970 Topps Glossy one of the very cool football insert sets of the late 60s/early 70s! I think there was only one Cowboy in the set...........Bob Hayes. I remember in one of our first trades I got a Jackie Smith from you.

Why am I thinking there may have been a 2nd Cowboy in this set? For some reason I'm invisioning a Mel Renfro Glossy. I must research this. LOL

That set must've been one of, if not the first sets to put a glossy cover on its surface. They don't go all the way to the edge so there's like a millimeter or less around the card that's just paper basically...

Does anyone remember him as a commentator? Most of us probably remember him in that capacity more than being a catcher.... he was a tough signer through the mail, but I managed to get him once.

Yeah, more commentator........His catching days were way behind him..........'86 Mets, anyone?

He was not a very good player, but he was a Hall of Fame announcer.

An original Cowboy card! I love how all the Cowboy players in the 1960 Topps set are wearing their previous teams uniforms due to them being an expansion team

Ya, those guys probably had no idea they'd be playing for Dallas when they got their photos taken for that set.

No doubt. They most likely had been taken the year or two before. Topps tended to use old photos in those vintage sets. A prime example is the 1964 Topps Len Dawson card shows him in a Browns uniform even though he had not played for them in 5 or 6 years.

BTW if you don't have the 1960 Jerry Tubbs card you don't have anything. That card is the equivalent of the 1952 Topps MNantle! LOL
