San Francisco 49ers cards

James Owens's 1981 card: "A versatile athlete for the 49ers, James has seen action at free safety and is an outstanding kick-returner for the club. He was co-MVP of UCLA as a junior and MVP in the Fiesta Bowl following his senior campaign."

According to his 1977 card, Wilbur Jackson "was named NFC Rooke of the Year by The Sporting News in 1974 after a sensational campaign when he gained a total of 705 yards at San Francisco. In 1974 he became the first rookie to lead 49ers in rushing since 1965." After playing on teams that won 32 of 33 games during his career at the University of Alabama, Jackson was the 49ers' first selection in the 1974 draft.

Fred Dean’s 1982 card recalls that he recorded five tackles and an assist in the 49ers’ 1981 regular-season finale against the Saints, “while playing in front of his family.” Dean’s a native of Arcadia, La., who played at Louisiana Tech before being drafted in the second round by the Chargers in 1975.

Ray Wersching’s 1981 card says he’s a CPA.

Earl Cooper’s 1981 card reports that his 83 receptions in 1980 broke the NFL rookie record by 27. Sid Blanks and Matt Snell shared the old mark.
