I'm still not sure how these were distributed. The panels must have been an offer for money or box tops as they woud not fit into a cereal box. I know I bought 10 or 12 of these sets in a flea market in New Jersey in 1985 and even have the original sale price sticker with them...............showing I actually don't throw anything away! LMAO!!! The sticker said $3.50 a set and I know I did not pay anything near that for them. It was probably $15 or $20 for them all which is how I always liked to buy.

Did you notice that Harvey Martin and DuPree are switched? They put the wrong photo on each of them...

I had never noticed that before and neither has Trading card database! Good catch. The fact that Billy Joe DuPree is clearly wearing Harvey Martin's jersey number #79 is a dead giveaway. Good eye!
 
Wow! You were paying attention to details! If you look at tight end David Hill's face mask it falls right between Martin and DuPree;'s style.

With hindsight being 20/20, the player seletion in this set seems odd but most of these guys were the biggest time players at that time. Injuries certainly curtailed many potential HOF careers in that groups.
