Or, perhaps more accurately, the binder.
This is the last card I needed to complete the 1958 Topps baseball set.
Now my focus will be on three sets:
- 1972-73 Topps basketball - I only need 23 cards to finish and none of them are all that expensive. I've been working on this since late 2018, so 5 1/2 years. Time to put it to bed.
- 1970 Topps Football - I am a little short of 70% complete on this, but have pretty much all of the valuable cards. The only star card left is the Jan Stenerud rookie card. Everything else is commons with a few minor stars sprinkled in.
- 1967 Topps Baseball - Ugh. I am making some progress on this set and am almost 75% complete. However, 2/3 of the remaining cards are in the sixth and seventh series, so this will be slow. I expect it will probably be another 2 years at a minimum.
It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so I may try to knock out another signed 1961 Fleet post.

Congrats on the set completion!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing the 1973 Topps football set! If I counted correctly, there are 201 rookie cards in the set. The Topps sets from earlier years were far smaller, so a lot of players got their first cards in 1973.
ReplyDeleteThat number is insane. The thing I noticed is that a lot of the players in the set also had acting careers. I even posted about it.
DeleteWow, completing a 1950s flagship set is a major accomplishment. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Completing a set from the 50's is about as impressive as it gets.
ReplyDeleteI was vacationing and missed this. Big thumbs up. ... I wonder if 2024 Heritage has 201 rookie cards?
ReplyDeleteHappy completed sets! The first vintage football cards I ever saw, or owned, were from the '73 set.
