The 4th finest 1972 Topps set ever is now retired

NeilDowney

Hi Guys, I have just retired my 1972 Topps set. I'd like to thank Frank, Erik, Mike, Dale, Carlos, Dave, Steve, Mickey and most of all Ray for getting me started. If I missed anyone, I'm sorry. All of you mean a lot to me. This is a bittersweet moment. I still love this set. I will never be able to see the numbers 72 without thinking about my set and the friends that I have made because of it. Here are my future plans. I am keeping all of the standard Mets and Yankees cards along with a few choice players. These cards were my favorites from my childhood. I will try to upgrade some of the Mets that I have in a PSA 8 to a PSA 9 whenever I can. I also have a low grade raw set that includes the actual cards from my childhood. I still need about 80 cards to complete this set if anyone has any low grade/low priced raw cards available for sale. I am sad because the 1972 Topps quest is over but I feel a great sence of pride in the set that I worked so hard to create. I am very excited about my two new set adventures. The primary set is a PSA 6/7 graded 1956 Topps set and the secondary set is a PSA 7/8 graded 1965 Topps set. I believe that both of these sets are outstanding in their design and player content. I do not intend to have a fire sale of these 1972 Topps cards. However, If any of you wish to make me a fair offer for any I would be willing to work with each of you on a first come/first served basis. It would give me great pleasure to continue the friendships that I have forged with each of you in the future even if we now collect different sets. Thank you all for your friendship, advice and help with this set and perhaps with the sets that we will be working on in the future. Good Luck! Neil
