This 1894 football card of Harvard's John Dunlop, shown Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014, is the rarest in a collection of football cards to be shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Collectors regard it as the Honus Wagner of football cards because Dunlop is the only player in the series whose name and school affiliation is missing, and he was only identified a decade ago. The museum is celebrating football’s history through the ages with the vintage trading card exhibition. The 150 cards are among approximately 600 football cards from the museum’s vast collection of sport trade cards donated to the Met by the late hobby pioneer Jefferson Burdick. The exhibit opens Jan. 24 and runs through Feb. 10. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
