MN Vikings Local Card

One of the more over looked aspects of collecting football cards in collecting team football card sets. When I was ten years old nothing was better than getting the local team set that was produced by a local company. While these cards were never of the quality of a TOPPS or Fleer football card set they were awesome to get.

Usually you could collect these cards at local grocery stores, police and fire events or even better the teams often handed out a pack of the cards when you went to the game. For me I grew up a Vikings fan and the team cards were often made by sponsored by Supervalue or General Mills. My favorite team set that I still own today was the 1976 Vikings. Seeing the purple people eaters like Page, Eller and RB Chuck Foreman was the best thrill for a kid. Well once the big business of card collecting and high quality manufacturing stepped I thought the days of team sets were gone, but I found a shop that kind of specializes in this type that is my goto stop now. C & I Collectables Inc is a great shop that can help you with all your needs.

Thanks for listening me rant - I think we all forget how much fun card collecting use to be. I miss those days of sitting in the park and trading cards with others.
