1976 Topps Football Unopened Cello Box - 24ct Packs - BBCE AUTH

Perhaps in celebration of America’s bicentennial, Topps used a generic player in a uniform that features the same red, white, and blue colors used by the Buffalo Bills on the box for its 1976 set. Topps would not gain the rights to use NFL logos for several more years, but that did not dissuade collectors from buying the only football cards on the market. Walter Payton’s rookie card leads the 528-card checklist, and Hall of Famers Jack Lambert, Randy White, and Robert Brazile also make their cardboard debuts. Payton’s rookie ranks near the top of most collectors’ list of most iconic 1970s football rookie cards after “Sweetness” retired as the NFL’s all-time leading rusher (surpassed in 2002) and a noted humanitarian. All of the top rookies have extremely low pop counts when it comes to Gem Mint PSA 10 copies. This BBCE-authenticated sealed cello box of 1976 Topps football cards offers collectors 24 chances to potentially pull a high-grade example of those rookies from a 18-card pack. The set also provided the first cards featuring the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks, who entered the league for the 1976 season. Several Hall of Famers such as Lynn Swann and Dan Fouts have popular second-year cards in the set. Simply put, 1976 Topps Football ranks as one of the top offerings from the decade. This box carries verification from BBCE.
