1985 Topps Football

 Tracing its roots to the 1962 Football and 1971 Baseball issues, the "black beauties" issued by Topps in 1985 represent the most condition sensitive set of the decade. Featuring a clever horizontal design - where the player name and team is actually standing on edge - the colorful 1985 Football set from Topps remains a collectors favorite. The set features the rookie cards of Richard Dent, Warren Moon, Henry Ellard, and Mark Clayton among others.

1986 McDonalds Football Sets

 McDonalds issued this regional team card set over a 4 week period in the Fall of 1986. The cards were designed to be scratched in order to reveal a prize. Unscratched mint condition cards like these are very hard to find. Each week of the 4 week period had a specific promotional color. Some teams' color combination carry a significant premium because it was less widely distributed, and thus more scarce.
