He is standing on his proper left leg with his proper left knee bent and his foot off of the ground behind him. In the background is another Houston Oilers player, Quarterback Oliver Luck, with a number [10] jersey with his back to the viewer. In the top, right corner of the card is the name [topps] in black text. At the bottom of the front of the card is a yellow block with black text that reads: [WARREN / MOON / QB], and a red, diagonal band with white text that reads: [OILERS]. The back of the card is yellow with brown text and brown-outlined graphics of people dressed in winter clothing and a skier around the left, right and top edges of the card. The text at the top of the back of the card reads: [350 / WARREN / MOON]. Below is information on Moon’s height, weight, college, birthdate, home and his Canadian Football League and National Football League career stats.
