Woodstock's 40th anniversary celebrated on a football card?
It’s been 40 years since Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon and 40 years since Woodstock, the landmark musical event that took place on a field in rural New York.
While we’re more than sure that there will be more than a few looks back at — and items to commemorate — both events, the leader in the clubhouse so far appears to be a card in the upcoming Upper Deck Philadelphia NFL set.
That’s right, peace and love in between Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning — not exactly the most tranquil location.

(You won’t find Jimi Hendrix in the set — but you will find him here.)
The product, which is set for release on May 3, is built around the Philadelphia football sets from 1964 to 1967 and there are also other Americana inclusions with designs from the past as well.
Among the preview images below are Barack Obama, the Ford Mustang, Richard Nixon, Vietnam and more.
