These were inserts in the 1971 Topps Football card packs. I remember when they came out. It seemed like I always got the yard marker cards instead of the players. I think there were just over 50 cards in the set, but I dont remember if that included the non-player cards.

Actually, it was meant to be a game. It's now referred to as the 1971 Topps Game Inserts, which were inserted into 1971 football packs. There are 53 cards total, 1 of the cards is the field marker / 1st down card. The game board (field) and instructions are printed on back of the 1971 Topps Poster pin up inserts.
