The original 1965 Topps Football
tallboys were larger than current cards, measuring in at 2.5 x 4.6875 compared
to todays standard 2.5 x 3.5 sized cards. We have not seen many over sized cards
since the 1994 Fleer NBA Jam Sessions release so it is pretty cool to see these
mini tallboys making their way in to packs. These tallboys will be slightly
smaller than a current sized card (1.8675"x 3.5) and this was done to
ensure the cards could fit in to packs.
The 1965 Topps insert set will
contain 140+ retired and veteran players plus there will be on-card autographed
rookie versions (these are the images I am including in the post). No insertion ratio has been announced and while Topps has announced that none of the autographed rookie cards will be short printed they have not stated anything about the retired and veteran cards.
