5 1970 Topps Super Glossy Football Cards: O.J., Unitas, Jurgensen, Griese, Starr

The Super Glossy Football Cards were only put out by Topps this one year, 1970 except for A Football Rookie Series that Topps came out with from 1987-91. The 5 cards in this series are:

1) O.J. Simpson
2) Bart Starr
3) Sonny Jurgensen
4) Johnny Unitas
5) Bob Griese

The cards' gloss holds strong after 55 plus years, they are rounded at the corners as intended, have a sturdier cut along the edges than regular more fragile football cards & are smaller than the latter mentioned as well. These 5 are completely straight in posture, being smaller replicas of their counterpart cards, there's less circumference to keep straight. On the reverse side, the gloss is maintained as shiny as the front; where the backs differ is in their level of whiteness to off-whiteness. Compare to other cards: The back of some cards have a grain, an imbedded zigzag pattern part of the card's structure. The player's name, position, & team he plays for are sharply delineated & easily readable.
