In an attempt to increase the size of my very small football card
collection, I'm picking up and featuring one new card for each of the
Patriots' 16 regular season games this year.
For week 7 action, the 6-0 Patriots find themselves on the road to face the 1-4 New York Jets. The Patriots handled New York in the first match-up of the season in Week 3, and
as I did then I'm featuring a 1965 Topps card this time around...
Not sure what more I can say about this set at this point other than I love these "tallboy" cards. Pretty much identical to their hockey card cousins from the same year. I'm not sure why Dee Mackey, a tight end, appears to be practicing receiving a snap here, but we'll look past that. A great image and a colorful card.
The cartoon on the back might be even better, I really like the concept of Mackey excitedly signing right on the scout's back!
Hard to believe we'll have 7 weeks in the books already on the NFL season after tonight's action. My meager football card collection is now 7 cards the richer for it. Will the Patriots stay undefeated and improve to 7-0, or will the Jets rally at home to stun the football world? Should be a fun game either way.
Enjoy the NFL action tonight football fans, and thanks as always for stopping by!

Great-looking card. I'm not sure who's more excited in that cartoon - the scout or Mackey!
Nice card... I'm ashamed to say I don't have any Tall Boys from either Hockey or Football... I really need to remedy that.
The NFL season is flying by... but my school year seems to be taking forever to wrap up the first quarter.
