Part of the problem with football vintage is football's overwhelming focus on QB's.
Pre-1970 you really have only six players with any really consistent demand....Unitas, Jim Brown, Starr, Sayers, and Joe Namath. And cards of those players are scattered amongst several manufacturers, since AFL and NFL licenses were with different companies.
And of course, it doesn't help that Topps football cards designs from the 70's and 80's are pretty mediocre, especially compared to their baseball card designs.
