2025 National Free Signer - Johnny Roland

This 1969 Topps football card of Johnny Roland was another card that I picked up from Sportlots.  He was the next free VIP signer at this year's National.  I was excited to.add this one to the autograph album.  I love some of these old football card designs.  I'd be happy if Topps rolled out some baseball products using these old designs.  Why not?
I found this Roland card in a bargain box and picked it up as well.  This is a 1971 Topps football card.  I wanted to get Roland's 1967 Philadelphia (brand, not the team) card but it wasn't going to get here in time.

Roland (b. 1943) played professionally from 1966 to 1973 for the Cardinals and Giants.  He was a Pro Bowler in 1966 and 1967.  He was the 1966 AP Rookie of the Year.
