WORLD FOOTBALL LEAGUE TRADING CARDS REVIEWED Back in June 2013, I reviewed a set of World Football League trading cards produced by a quartet of fans and historians who grew up following the WFL during its brief and wacky run in 1974-1975. The WFL came and went just before the trading card boom of the early 1980’s, so no contemporary card sets were issued during the league’s shortexistence.
