The final edition of the four year run for Philadelphia Gum was also the most condition sensitive, featuring bright yellow borders that seriously limited the number of surviving high-grade specimens. Hall of Famers Leroy Kelly, Jackie Smith and Dave Wilcox make their debuts, and like the previous year's collection, appearances by Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus are the key cards of the set. At 15% NM or better, 50% EX/MT, 20% EX and 15% lower, this is a mid to upper grade collection with key cards of #23 Unitas EX/MT+, 28 Butkus EX/MT, 29 Ditka NM/MT (OC), 35 Sayers EX/MT, 43 Kelly RC EX/MT+, 54 Jordan RC NM/MT, 58 Reeves RC NM/MT (OC), 82 Starr EX/MT+, 106 Tarkenton NM, 123 Hornung EX/MT, 165 Smith RC EX/MT+, 178 Wilcox RC EX/MT+ and 183 Hanburger EX/MT. Checklist #198 is graded PSA 7.
