I hold the '71 set design and photos up there as one of the best Topps set ever. <br /><br />I think it's the first Topps set with actual in game photographs, and I believe the first set to mix vertical and horizontal cards in same set. <br /><br />I'm still a few cards short of finishing that set, but some day I'll get around to it. <br /><br />So, what's next on your list?Anthony Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235433322648199652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-2309634184604323872012-04-27T12:40:32.840-04:002012-04-27T12:40:32.840-04:00Congratulations!

Though since I came back and started going to shows regularly, I feel like I get in there and just start chucking $20s at people.<br />Next milestone, 1959!GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-60566446182219968492012-04-27T00:09:25.343-04:002012-04-27T00:09:25.343-04:00Well, happy 97th birthday then!!
