1980 Bells Bills Football Cards

Home > Categories > All Sets > 1980 Bells Bills

1980 Bells Bills cards were distributed by Bells Supermarkets in the Buffalo area. There are twenty cards in the set. The cards came on ten two-card panels, with a perforation between the cards for separating them. You can see one of the panels here.

The cards are unnumbered, so I have listed them in alphabetical order. The back of each card contains the player's bio and stats.

Not long after sponsoring the cards, Bells tried another Bills promotion, the Whammy Weenie. That promotion didn't go so well, as explained in this YouTube video.

Bells filed for bankruptcy in 1992, according to a Rochester Democrat & Chronicle article about the chain.
