The 1985 Topps Football set has a 396-card checklist. The highlight is the Warren Moon NFL rookie card. Other rookies include Irving Fryar, Richard Dent and Mark Clayton. Obviously, it has nothing on the loaded 1984 Topps Football rookie crop. But that means 1985 has more affordable second-year cards of quarterback greats John Elway and Dan Marino. The 1985 Topps Football design uses a horizontal design. Borders are black, which makes it somewhat difficult to find top-condition cards. Last names are in large block letters. First names are in a small overlapping box. A ribbon at the far side of the card has the team name. Topps branding on the front is limited to a small mention above the player photo done with text rather than the more traditional logo.
