NFL/MLB Roster Packets
Mainly during the 1970's and early 1980's, the NFL issued team Roster sets that had the roster on one site of the card, and the schedule on the back. Some years had a sponsor on the cards, other years were not. These usually came in a full league set in a small packet. Below is information on each year. MLB also tried doing these Roster sets, but they only lasted a year.
Below is a list of what is know to be out there. My guess is there are a lot more than what's listed here. Below that list is a list of what I have personally. I am looking for any others (I am only interested in the entire set with packet; not individual cards). If you have a packet that is not listed here, please let me know so I can add it! I am trying to put together a complete list.
(Thanks to Ed Allan for his help on this information; as well as eBay listings)
