Don't know why it's kind of blah now that I look at it. <br /><br />1971 Topps Football is so close to 75 Topps Baseball I would think it would be your favorite. Guess nothing trumps nostalgia.

And I also neither knew nor cared that the logos weren't on the cards. I like 75 a little better with the banner and more action shots, and I like the year with the goalposts too.<br /><br />But overall, these were guys on TV! And I had a Black&White TV, so full color football cards were hard to beat. Looking back, seeing the guys without their helmets is a little more humanizing.<br /><br />I would kind of like to discover some retro issues of these designs in the 21st Century, but I can hardly follow Football any more, knowing what happens to the players later in life. The All Baseball time of year is indeed the best time of year.<br /><br />For the 77 set, I somehow acquired sheets of checklist cards and I dutifully cut them apart and used them. Complete plain jane cards though, just a checklist with a white back.BaseSetCallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508114484929386332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-80112770965349437032017-06-13T23:53:10.739-04:002017-06-13T23:53:10.739-04:00Jim LeClair knows it's baseball season... his ...Jim LeClair knows it's baseball season... his position is "MLB".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-50262847027282778282017-06-13T22:04:44.247-04:002017-06-13T22:04:44.247-04:00I'm with you 100%.

I'm so sick of listening to 99% Warriors radio.<br /><br />P.S. Cool football cards. I've always had a soft spot for the 77 set, because of the Largent rookie.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
