Cowboys On Ice In 1976
One of the fun parts of creating custom cards is you can utilize all sorts of different designs. The 1976 Hockey set was a very attractive design that works perfectly for another Cowboys set. America’s Team, love ‘em or hate ‘em, were really getting exposure by this time and their Super Bowl appearance that January did little to slow down their popularity. This set includes: Roger Staubach, Preston Pearson, Harvey Martin, Butch Johnson, John Fitzgerald, Blaine Nye, Drew Pearson, Golden Richards, Too Tall Jones, Cliff Harris, Rayfield Wright, Charlie Waters, Billy Joe Dupree, Robert Newhouse, Thomas Henderson, Efren Herrera, Tom...
1974 Cowboys: A Basketball Design
The mid 70’s was a great era for sport card designs; lots of wild colors, big afros, and over-the-top fads. That’s why RetroCards has created a new Dallas Cowboys set utilizing a 1974-75 basketball card design. This was always a favorite design of mine and takes me back to my childhood when I would buy bubble gum cards at my local hobby shop. This set features game action or sideline shots of some of the Cowboys biggest stars of the time and some that many probably have forgotten. The 1974 Cowboys were transitioning away from the old-timers that finally won...
1966 Dallas Cowboys: America's Team On The Rise
The Cowboys had come within one victory of being NFL champions in 1966 and thus began a dynasty that lasted arguable until the early 1980s. The original Topps set from 1966 showcased only AFL players in an attractive horizontal TV screen design that has timeless appeal. An earlier RetroCards set featuring NFL All-Pros in this style has prompted the first team set – the Dallas Cowboys. This set reflects the accomplishments of the 1965 season and most of the player pictures feature game or sideline shots giving the TV design an added touch of reality. This Cowboys set includes all...
1976 Cowboys: Becoming America's Team
1975 was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Cowboys. In 1974 they had missed the playoffs for the first time since 1965 and when the smoke cleared at the end of training camp in 1975, twelve rookies had made the team (this doesn't include Mike Hegman, who joined the team in 1976 and Jim Zorn who was cut at the end of camp). This “Dirty Dozen” rookie class included future All-Pros Thomas Henderson, Pat Donovan, Bob Bruenig, and Herbert Scott plus Hall of Famer Randy White. After finishing in second place to the 11-3 Cardinals, the 10-4 Cowboys...
Cowboys Get One Step Closer To A Championship
1971 is the year the Cowboys finally made it to the Super Bowl, following a 10-4 season in 1970. It seems strange now to think that Cowboys were the NFL's most prolific losers, having lost the Championships in 1966 and 1967 to the Green Bay Packers, losing the Conference Playoff game against the Cleveland Browns in 1968 and 1968 and finally, losing Super Bowl V in 1970 to the Baltimore Colts, a game they had no business losing. The 1971 cards reflect the 1970 season that led to that horrible last game called the Blunder Bowl, played on January 17,...
71-72 Cowboys Get A Baseball Look
Cowboy collectors will get a treat with RetroCards second "baseball" design for a football set. This set features a 1974 baseball design, which has long been one of my favorites - the first year I began collecting cards. I always loved the "traded" players and the clean design. Although this is a design from 1974, it features Dallas Cowboys spanning the 1971-72 seasons. Series one includes the Cowboys offense in action or sideline shots. Popular players like Roger Staubach, Craig Morton, Duane Thomas, Calvin Hill, Lance Alworth, Bob Hayes, Mike Ditka, Ralph Neely, John Niland, Blaine Nye, Dan Reeves, Rayfield...
