A Football Card Experiment - Game 7 - It's the Jets Again

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!
