Finally, every football card collectors' dreams are coming true — the complete, comprehensive history of football cards and American football from 1888-1988 — profusely illustrated with literally thousands of original football cards, many of which have become valuable collectibles. This in-depth monograph showcases not only the rarest and most important footballs card ever printed but also gives a complete history of the game and the cards created to memorialize it. This book discusses the changes that occurred in the football card industry over its first century in existence as well as the evolution of the football leagues we know today. American Football Cards 1888-1988 highlights interesting cards and noteworthy players from each year. While it focuses heavily on the appearance, nuances, and evolution of cards from the major card companies-—including Topps, Bowman, and Fleer—it also discusses more unique sets, such as police cards, where the well-known McGruff the crime dog makes an appearance.
