Specs
Year: 1962
Title: Tang Team Photos
Size: 10″ by 8″
Number in Set: 14
Overview
Tang sponsored a set of team photographs of each NFL team in 1962. And though their logo is not on the photos, writers and catalogs say advertising pieces exist that verify the set was available for 50 cents with a Tang seal.
Each “Card” is on very thin paper stock. The fronts have team photos within a white border. The designer imposed the team logos over the photo’s lower right side, and the team and players’ names are printed, centered along the bottom.
The backs are blank and unnumbered.
