And wow, I've got a post scheduled later this month that talks about one specific card from the 1974 set and the impressive color matching it displays. I even mention the magenta color in the Los Angeles/Chicago cards as being an outlier in the set. It's going to seem like a copycat post now ;-)gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740439412693373442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-54968232974023360292019-07-09T08:29:35.742-04:002019-07-09T08:29:35.742-04:00I too, remember my first handful of cards being &#...I too, remember my first handful of cards being '74s.

I get why some people are underwhelmed by the design, but part of the appeal is the overall impact of the design, colors, photography and subsets. 1974 deserves more consideration from collectors than it gets.<br /><br />You really need to get yourself a Washington "Nat'l Lea." card... even if it's just Rich Troedson or Bill Greif.

One of the spookiest ever. All the world’s a stage, or all the field, anyway, for the players, is what I always think about when seeing it. <br /><br />But I have never worked on the set even a tiny bit, cuz I opened my very first pack the next year and didn’t see 74s until at least four years later.

With all the special Hank Aaron cards, the fact that he did not have a regular issue card that looked like the rest of the set was always disappointing to me.

But my budget was $150 max and it ended up selling for almost $500. <br /><br />It's a shame, because I know I would have appreciated this set a lot more if I could see each card in hand. I've seen a few in this post that I want to try and trade for on TCDB. (not that Garvey though. That one's just too weird!)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-3887736361612828622019-07-08T21:00:28.860-04:002019-07-08T21:00:28.860-04:0074' is a nice set.

It’s so common now, but it was a major innovation then. I loved those cards. The following year, of course, they went further with the MVP cards.

I don't love it (though realizing the team colors thing could change my mind a bit) but it's got bits of greatness all over with some of the photos and has a really understated design that looks great signed.Nick Vossbrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162939001181537887noreply@blogger.com
