1968 Topps Test Team Photos | 1 | Green Bay Packers | Green Bay Packers | This card pictures the 1967 Packers. It is unusual in that it includes the trainers and equipment managers, but not the coaches. The Packers finished the regular season with a 9-4-1 record in 1967, and they went on to beat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II. The 1968 Packers went 6-7-1. | ||||
|
1968 Topps Test Team Photos | 4 | Miami Dolphins | Miami Dolphins | 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. | ||||
