Here's a project that I was thinking about doing. Most people collect team sets by year but I wondered how many Steeler players played on all four championship teams 1974,1975,1978, and 1979. Below are the 21 players who were on all four teams and all the years that cards were isued for them, not just the championship years. Interesting that some prominent players didn't have cards issued until their third year or later.
It's notable that the Steelers picked up 4 HOFers in their 1974 draft. Amazing.
Too bad Swan had a dispute with Topps or he certainly would have had cards issued into the early 80's as well.
If you have any of these cards, feel free to post them.
