I just picked up a pack of these this weekend (.69!!). The card
fronts are typical boring Topps design, huge ugly white border
with some action shots and mostly bust pictures of individual
players. Has Bowman insigna on bottom with players name (but
doesn't mention the team name).
The thing I like about these cards is the card backs (really!!).
The backs are similar to the Bowman FB card design back in the
mid '50s ('55, '56). You really have to see the originals to
appreciate this design.
One interesting thing also. The first card I saw in the pack had
a gold seal/stamp on it!! The card is labeled "Road to Super Bowl
XXV, NFC Championship", card number 556. The stamp is of the Super
Bowl Trophy; it's round, slightly smaller than a dime and sits in
the top left hand corner of the card. Topps/Bowman may have stamped
all the Super Bowl cards but I'm not sure. Anybody have any info
on these stamps?? How many cards to the set??
Thanks,
Dan
