This listing is for a 1962 Fleer Football card #6 featuring Tony Sardisco of the Boston Patriots.
He played in the National Football League for the San Francisco 49ers and Washington Redskins in 1956. He was selected in the sixth round of the 1956 NFL draft as an offensive guard for the San Francisco 49ers, where his first contract was for $7,500 with a $250 bonus. After 10 games, he was traded to the Washington Redskins, where he finished the season. His positions were linebacker and guard, and he wore number 64.

His professional football career was then interrupted when he served in the U.S. Air Force. He continued to play football, making All-Air Force in 1957 and All-Service in 1957 and 1958.

He returned to professional football with the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League in 1959.

Sardisco returned to the states to help launch the American Football League (AFL), and he played guard for the Boston Patriots from 1960 to 1963. He served as team captain for the inaugural Boston Patriots team. He was named All-AFL the 1961 season and played three seasons in all with the Patriots.
For 1962, Fleer returned to featuring only players from the AFL after a year where both leagues were included in its set. At the same time, the company cut back to a smaller set size of 88 cards and scaled back its production. However, the cards were more colorful than past issues had been.

The set is numbered so the players are grouped by team. Each team is arranged alphabetically by home city. The 88 cards were issued in a single series and are plagued with centering issues, which makes collecting them frustrating for condition-conscious collectors.

The card is shipped securely in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a #000 bubble mailer. A tracking number will be provided to you at the time of shipping. The card in the listing is the card you will receive so please view pictures for card condition.
