1980 Topps Football Wax Fun

Which treasures are inside this 28 year-old pack, patiently waiting to see the long-lost light of day? Well, there's certainly one way to find out...

  1. I notice that none of the cards have team logos...did Topps not have license for that back in 1980?

    This is a great video which I really enjoyed watching--I would have loved if you could have kept the card images up for just a second or two longer!

  2. That Tuiasosopo you pulled -- his son, Marques, has been a life-long NFL backup [got some significant time with the Raiders in '03] and his other son is a minor league baseball player.

  3. Point well taken, Andy. I'll leave the cards up a while longer from now on!

    Nope. Topps did not have an NFL license in 1980. They did have an NFLPA license, but they had to airbrush the logos.
