1963 Topps Football Cards

Home > Categories > Topps > 1963 Topps

There are 170 cards in the 1963 Topps football card set: eleven players and a team card for each of the fourteen NFL teams, plus two checklists. The cards were printed on standard 264-card sheets, so 94 of the cards were printed twice on each sheet. The other 76 cards are thus short prints. The Gallery's 1963 Topps virtual uncut sheet page shows how uncut sheets of the cards were configured.

Most of the cards in the 1963 Topps set can be found with either a purple sky or a blue sky. The purple- and blue-sky variations are not documented in the price guides. For details and lots of examples, see 1963 Topps Football Color Variations on the rbwoodenpuzzles.com web site.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1963 Topps set: Deacon Jones, Bob Lilly, Ray Nitschke, Larry Wilson, Willie Wood.
