Untouched 1982 Topps Football Set

I have been bored the last couple weeks and so I have been digging through my boxes of cards. If you are anything like me you love looking at 80's Football!! I don't think there is a bad design in the decade. So I remembered buying 1981-1985 Topps Football sets back in 92-93. I yanked all the good cards and basically they have laid untouched until about 10 years ago when I read the 82 Football article in the SMR. My Bernirschke is pretty sweet, I have wanted to sub it for years but just never got around to it.. Bert Jones and Cardinals Team not so much.. Again I put them away until last Saturday. I pulled about half the set in untouched nm-mint condition. This was a lot of fun and brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. Now I have to find my 81 and 83 sets. The 84 was picked apart years ago and the 85 set I went through and maybe found 50 cards in nm-mt shape..

Fun set and you know you're a true collector when you get excited about a Rolf Benirschke card! I remember when he lost a ton of weight due to some health issue but bounced back.
