AboutFred Goodwin Expertise My particular expertise is Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 200 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.
Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!
Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.
Experience I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (200 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.

Question My husband has some old Dallas Cowboys football cards, and we were wanting some information on them if possible. My husband says tha they are probably from the early to mid 80's. There is no date on them. On the back of each card are Cowboys Tips. They also say they are "Courtesy of your area Kiwanis Club, Law Enforcement Agency, and the Dallas Cowboys Weekly, the official Cowboys fan newspaper" on the back. These are cards of players like Bob Bruenig, Robert Newhouse, Pat Donovan, Tony Hill, Randy White, Roger Staubach, and even Tom Landry just to name a few. There are others, too.
Thank you for any information you can give us on these.
Answer Chele:
What your husband has is a Dallas Cowboys "police set". There were three different sets from the early 80s; they are very similar, but I can't tell which one he has.
Your best bet is to consult a price guide like "Beckett's". The small annual paperbacks may not list these -- you may have to consult the large book-size guide.
