This card pictures the 1967 Dolphins. Sadly, it might be the worst team photo ever. The coaches in front dominate the photo, and all you can see of the players in back is their heads. Only about half of the players' numbers are visible. |

The image on the cover of this album also appeared, with the player's jersey number altered, in the inset photo on Don Perkins's 1962 Topps football card. I believe the player is J.D. Smith of the San Francisco 49ers. You can see a 1961 photo of Smith in action at Getty Images. |
