1968 Topps Test Team Photos Miami Dolphins 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.
1968 Topps Test Team Photos Dallas Cowboys 1968 Topps Test Team Photos 11 Dallas Cowboys Dallas Cowboys This card pictures the 1967 Cowboys team. Strangely, the background is blanked out on the image, and the players appear to be floating in space. You can see the original image here. The 1967 Cowboys finished 9-5 and lost to the Green Bay Packers in the "Ice Bowl." The 1968 Cowboys went 12-2 and lost to the Cleveland Browns in the divisional round of the playoffs.
