In this lot you get 1 single of #360 Walter Payton graded by psa. Card may not be in the best shape but very very rare in the topps mexican world. A must have for any Cowboys or 1977 Topps Mexican Football Fan save on s/h with multiple purchase. Smr in 8 is $800.00. $3.00 shipping includes insurance.If you dont know the history of the mexican set is a little summary. Featuring the exact same 528 cards as its American counterpart, the Mexican set was printed with Spanish team names and position abbreviations on the obverse of the card. The reverse was printed entirely in Spanish. Player's weights and measures are listed using the Metric Standard. The cards were cut much differently than standard issue cards. The Mexican cards were cut utilizing a perforated system that left remnants of the perforations .The packaging of the cards may be one of the zaniest oddities of the issue. The cards were packed in both two card and four card packs with 36 packs per box, and a very unusual number of 54 boxes in a 2 card per pack case. The two card packs included a piece of banana and grape flavored gum that was flat on one side and had a railroad tie appearance on the other. The packs that included the gum almost always caused one of the cards to have either a gum stain (which vary greatly in degree) or other damage associated with the gum. The other card was usually gum stain free, but was subject to wax stains. .Collation of the cards within the boxes was horrible. It is not uncommon to open a box and get numerous duplicates. I have heard of boxes yielding as few as 9 different players with as many as 17 of the same player in the box including packs with two of the same player. Also, of the 72 cards from the packs, half will be damaged by the gum. Many of the cards also suffer from factory creases, roller marks, miscuts, ink stains and printing flaws so finding a card that will grade a 7 or 8 is quite difficult. Psa 9 is the highest grade that a mexican card has graded. T are no 10's !!!!! It took about 10 years to make a complete pack fresh, no gum, non roller mark set!!!! And I opened over a 100 boxes to make a set and it still was not complete. I had to do some trades with others to complete it.. I doubt t is a 100 boxes out t to make another set . The dirty dozen is the 12 hardest cards to find in the mexican football set. These seem to be the 12 cards everyone is always looking for to finish a set. The dirty dozen are. The "Dirty Dozen:"**# 8 Rick Volk - Giants # 21 Lawrence Gaines - Lions # 89 John McDaniel - Bengals # 98 Ray Rhodes - Giants #231 Eddie Brown - Redskins #269 Archie Griffin - Bengals #276 Wilbur Jackson - 49ers #404 Ray Jarvis - Lions #434 Eric Torkelson - Packers #444 Mike Pruitt - Browns #488 Rich Sowells - Jets #528 Super Bowl This list is based upon evaluating numerous want lists and discussion with other collectors.** T are also some that suggest card numbers 3, 147, 295, 332, 374, 417, 453 and/or 474 are equally difficult to locate and are worthy of similar consideration as, or could be substituted for the above. In part because of the limited production of the issue and the virtual impossibility of locating the "Dirty Dozen," its not difficult to understand why t are less than 15 known complete sets that exist in the hobby. From time to time, some of the tougher cards show up, usually in G to VG condition. And recently, a few partial sets have changed hands, but all-in-all, t is nothing to suggest that t is much of this product that will suddenly surface If you search topps mexican on yahoo or googl...
