1960 Topps Football Cards

1960 Topps football card wrapperThe 1960 Topps set contains 132 cards of NFL players and teams. The Dallas Cowboys joined the NFL in 1960, so this was the first set to include cards of the Cowboys. The full set fit exactly twice on a full 264-card uncut sheet, with no short prints or double prints. To see what an uncut half-sheet looked like, see my 1960 Topps virtual uncut sheet page.

Topps had competition in 1960, for the first time since 1955. 1960 was the AFL's first year, and Fleer printed the first set of AFL football cards. The competition apparently spurred a bit of innovation, because 1960 Topps and 1960 Fleer football card packs were the first to include inserts. 1960 Topps packs included metallic stickers representing the thirteen NFL teams and a few colleges.

The 1960 Topps set contains a large number of errors. Most notable is Jim Taylor's card, which pictures the wrong Jim Taylor. (To see that card and other cards that picture the wrong player, see my Mistaken Identities page.) Also, four cards in the set have reversed images, which you can see below.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1960 Topps set: Forrest Gregg.
