Ken Norton Jr. Dallas Cowboys Football Card Collection
This is a collection of nine individual Ken Norton Jr. American football trading cards from his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys, displayed in a clear plastic 9-pocket archival sleeve. The collection features various major manufacturers from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, including brands such as Pro Set (bottom left and middle left), Score (top left and top middle), Topps Stadium Club (middle right), Upper Deck (bottom right), and Pacific (top right). The cards measure the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and are constructed from glossy or semi-glossy heavy cardstock. Visually, the cards feature Norton in his iconic #51 silver and blue uniform, predominantly in defensive stances on grass fields. Design elements include various foil stamps (notably on the top right card), team logos, and colored borders ranging from classic white to gold and green. The condition appears to be mid-grade; while the plastic sleeves have protected the surfaces from major debris, some corners show signs of softening, and the Pro Set card in the middle-left pocket exhibits noticeable trimming or edge wear at the bottom. These cards represent the 'junk wax' era of sports collecting, characterized by high production volumes but high nostalgia for the Cowboys' Super Bowl championship years. The printing quality remains vibrant, with clear photography and sharp typography typical of premium sets like Upper Deck and Stadium Club.
