Kansas City Chiefs - Custom Extension Set

This is the fourth of five 1967 team sets I bought from RetroCards.net. Previously, I posted the Cowboys, Packers, and Saints sets.  Those are all great-looking cards.  

I can't say the same for these Chiefs cards.  Almost every photo is too dark - some so dark as to either not be able to make out the player's face, or that the jersey is red.  It doesn't help that the borders are also black (Topps' original color for the Chiefs' cards). 

On the plus side, we have 18 more players for the defending AFL champions.  (Notable absences from the combined Topps/RetroCards set are G Ed Budde, K Jan Stenerud, MLB Willie Lanier, T Dave Hill, and DE Chuck Hurson.)

 
"65 Toss Power Trap!"

I also bought the Raiders' set at the same time.  Those cards have much better photo quality.

Next: Oakland Raiders
