The top 10 greatest Football Cards of the 1970s. No #8 - 1979 Topps O J Simpson.

O.K., he who was famous at this time and became infamous later on. But this card is so great, first it is odd seeing him not in a Bills uniform but also Topps did a great job on this card. In the 1970s, Topps could not show NFL logo’s but the way this half body shot of Simpson wearing a 49er helmet gives you no doubt that this is a 49ers uniform. This card did not need the logo for you to easily figure out who he played for.
