Clearance Footballers

When I was making my required stop at my favorite card shop, Three Star Sportscards, during my Christmas break I came upon these cards in a random box marked "50 cents each or 5/$2.00." My eyes got big when I saw some of the cards included, especially the Walter Payton card. They aren't in mint condition but still a pretty good deal I think.

When I checked out, I told the guy behind the counter they were in the box and I could tell that they probably shouldn't have been in the clearance box. There was sort of this awkward silence and then he rang up the cards. Victory!

topps finally got the logo rights in 1981 or 1982. I didn't notice it as a kid, but those 70s cards don't have logos. Still love the cards though!

I'm tickled by the shop name, "Three Star Sports Cards." The standard is usually four or five stars as a sign of excellence. I suppose they're just satisfied being a mediocre card shop.

Thorzul,

I do hope their name is an ironic statement...but sometimes I wonder...

I love the Payton card. Love how he's perfectly parallel to the ground.
