I remember Glenn Carano in the USFL (sorry, have no idea as to worth; doubt worth much)

They appear to be 1987 era.

Those used to be given out when I was a boy in Dallas . They were used to help foster a relationship between law enforcement and kids. All you had to do to get one was to go up to a cop and ask. The cop would talk to you for a couple minutes and then give you a card. I had several of them, but they are long gone.

Oh, and if memory serves me correctly, they were around 1980 or so.

Alright...made me search.

According to the Standard Catalog of Football cards it is the "1981 Cowboys Police" set. A complete set is 15 cards and is worth $7.50 with the Ed Too Tall Jones at $1.50 the most valuable.
