1964 Topps Football Cards

Home > Categories > All Sets > 1964 Topps

The 1964 Topps football card set is the first of four AFL-only sets that Topps produced in the mid-1960s. There were only eight AFL teams in 1964, so the set contains a large number of players per team. Because of this, a lot of players made their first appearance on a card in this set.

The set's 176 cards were printed on a 264-card full sheet, so 88 cards were repeated on the sheet. The repeated 88 cards were thus double prints, or the other 88 cards were short prints, depending on whether your glass is half-full or half-empty. The price guides chose half-empty and identified the short prints.

The set contains one notable error card: Ray Abruzzese's card actually pictures Ed Rutkowski. You can see more cards that picture the wrong player on the Gallery's Mistaken Identities page.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1964 Topps set: Bobby Bell, Buck Buchanan.
