1951 Topps Magic Football Cards

1951 Topps Magic football card wrapper The 1951 Topps Magic set contains cards of 75 college players. What makes the cards "magic" is a scratch-off section on the back that reveals the player's school. You can see pictures of the card backs, both scratched and unscratched, in my blog article, S is for Scratch-Offs. Another blog article, T is for Topps, Part 1, has descriptions of all of the 1950-1959 Topps sets.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1951 Topps Magic set: George Young. Rookie cards of Heisman Trophy winners in the 1951 Topps Magic set: Vic Janowicz.
