Night Owl Cards

  I knew this would happen this year. I even sent out a warning early in the year, saying that topics would be very 1975 Topps-centric in 2024. To review, Heritage is covering the 1975 Topps set and there are original '75 buybacks in the set that I am pursuing along with the main set. Also I'm running a countdown review of the original set and I just put up the latest edition the other day.
