Just a quick post tonight. There's not a lot of time and you've seen these cards way too much on this blog.
Yeah, I'm talking about 1975 Topps again. You know I'll never stop right?
On the occasion of Canada Day earlier this month I ordered up some O-Pee-Chee cards. I try to do something like that every July 1.
This time I finally grabbed a few '75 OPC Dodgers. I've been very delinquent with this particular year with OPC, not sure why.
All of the above are big cards so I am happy with the progress even though there are still Garvey and Sutton to go.
I also did a little bit of work with my '75 buyback chase. Just two cards this time but both are notable.
This Al Downing is now among my worst-conditioned buybacks. This doesn't matter to me at all. As I've said many times, Topps already marred the card with the stamp.
So that card was cheap, but this one wasn't:
I think I spent more for this card than any other buyback, but the guy is going into the Hall of Fame one day. It wasn't much more than what you'd pay for an unstamped '75 Baker.
That's a decent get for the chase. I'm up to 472 buybacks for the set now, which is 72% of the entire set.
So that's it. There are no more '75 cards on the horizon, so I think you're spared until the next worst-to-best countdown.
