1964 Philadelphia Football Cards

Home > Categories > All Sets > 1964 Philadelphia

The 1964 Philadelphia set is the first of four football card sets produced by the Philadelphia Gum Company in the mid 1960s. The set contains only NFL players; AFL players appeared in the 1964 Topps set. The 198 cards in the 1964 Philadelphia set were printed on a 264-card sheet, so 66 of the cards were repeated on the sheet. Those 66 cards are thus double prints, but they are not documented in the price guides. I have a good idea which cards are double prints, and when I get a chance, I will mark them here.

You can see what half of a sheet of these cards looked like on the Gallery's 1964 Philadelphia virtual uncut sheet page. Also see my blog article, P is for Philadelphia, for an overview of the 1964-1967 Philadelphia football card sets.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1964 Philadelphia set: Herb Adderley, Willie Davis, Jim Johnson, John Mackey, Merlin Olsen, Mick Tingelhoff.
