One team photo of each of the existing National Football League franchises. I am one of the lucky ones to have a complete set given to me years ago, and now I can share them with all in the Pigpen.

"The NFL Championship Chronicles: A Journey to the 1962 Title"
The 1962 NFL season was a testament to the burgeoning dynasty of the Green Bay Packers, who, as defending champions, were on a mission to prove their 1961 victory was no fluke. In a compelling discussion on PigskinDispatch.com, host Darin Hayes welcomed Mr. Cliff Christl, the official team historian for the Green Bay Packers, to unpack the details leading up to and including the iconic 1962 NFL Championship. Christl, a seasoned sports writer with over 35 years of experience covering Wisconsin football, brought unparalleled insight into this pivotal era.
"1962 NFL Draft"
The 1962 NFL Draft, held on December 4, 1961, in Chicago, was a pivotal event in professional football history, largely defined by the intense competition with the rival American Football League (AFL). This era of dual drafts meant that many top college prospects were courted by teams from both leagues, leading to bidding wars and often, players choosing the upstart AFL for better financial offers or perceived opportunities. Unlike today's unified draft, players could be selected by both an NFL and an AFL team, forcing them to make a critical decision about their professional future.
