Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create virtual trading cards for players missed in various sets. It is a concept I borrowed from far too many to list, but I appreciate all of their efforts.
I previously created Cards That Never Were for former Chicago Bears running back Johnny Musso, but I did not create one for Topps 1976. I couldn't find any decent pictures. I think I finally found one.
After starring at the University of Alabama, Musso was selected by the Chicago Bears in the third round of the 1972 NFL draft. He chose to play for the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian Football League instead. After three seasons there, he played one season with the Birmingham Stallions of the World Football League, before finally joining the Bears. He saw action in seasons from 1975-77 and was on the injured list for all of 1978.
I created the 1976 cards and then decided to also do one for 1979, which would be his Career-Capper." Even though he didn't play in 1978, he was still with the Bears.
