I completed a page of my 1965 Topps Football set build. It is the first page of the set. I only recognized two names on this page. Nick Buoniconti, although I know him from when he was with the Miami Dolphins in the 70's. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001 and passed away in 2019. Gino Cappelletti played for the Patriots from 1960 to 1970. Before joining the Patriots he played in the CFL and also played QB for a Rugby Team according to wikipedia. He passed away in 2022.Fuji helped me out with eight more cards to bring me to 49% completion of the set. The only one of these guys I had heard of was Tom Flores and that was from the years he was the Raiders head coach. Thanks Mark.
On a completely different note, I have a question for those of you who use Blogger. I can only get my blogroll to show ten other blogs, but I notice some of you have many more than that. Can you tell how to get more to show up.
Thanks for stopping by and any help you can render.

Nice cards, good luck on the build.
In terms of the blogroll, my blog's settings have the default as showing just ten blogs, but then gives the reader the option to see more if he so desires ('show all' button under the ten). It may be something with the formatting your blog's theme, but I don't really know.
Likewise, I know very few '60s football names. I have one 1965 football card and I don't think I knew it was from '65. Looking at them here, it's a nice colorful set, right up my alley, but I don't see myself collecting '60s football.
Well, that would be MY favorite page in the binder. Still working on that Patriots team set, got a looong way to go, lot's of SPs. Great job on getting halfway there on the set.
That Flores is really cool. My father would have loved that card. He was a big Raiders fan when he coached them. Glad I was able to help you on this set build.
As for the blogger question, I can only get 10 to show up on my list as well. Maybe it has to do with the blog layouts we are using. Not sure though.
Congrats on the completed page and thanks Fuji for helping Rod out!
