The long-build on a high quality collection of 1964 and 1966 Philadelphia football

Like the Topps football series of the same year, high-quality cards from these sets are also difficult to build from raw, but relatively inexpensive to purchase in high grade. Other than the Ditka PSA 8, which I didn’t want to have to wait to acquire, all cards were found in raw condition.

Centered with Good Corners

The mandate is to shoot for graded PSA 9’s but settle for 8s and certain 7s. The minimum criteria for a 1964 / 66 card must be PSA 9 centering and a clean mark-free surface, letting the corners, the back, and other elements dictate the balance of the grade. A number of cards in the series are virtually impossible to find in a grade higher than 8.
