The posting for today features the Topps' set of cards for 1963, again featuring most of the same players, but with a few additions. Ron Kramer, Willie Wood, and Ray Nitschke show up in this season’s Topps’ edition as newcomers to the status of “card worthy” players.
Ron Kramer (no relation to guard Jerry Kramer), a tight end from Michigan, played for the Packers in 1957, and again from 1959-1964; Safety Willie Wood, a free agent who wrote a letter to Lombardi for a tryout, played for the team from 1960-1971 and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame; and infamous linebacker Ray Nitschke, who played from 1958-1972, is also an NFL Hall of Famer.
These cards feature great photos of some of the greatest players to ever put on a green and gold uniform.
