    Fascinating read. Thanks
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    This really is a great page, and I always enjoy stumbling across it. I just can't believe there are NO scans of any of the sets. I mean...c'mon?!?

    The short write-ups of each set really leave me wanting more. I'd love to see a full page description of each set, complete with LOTS of scans.

    Still, a very nice resource and a lot of work, I'm sure.

    Not sure if some of you realise this but if you click on the link for each set a checklist will appear.

    I would think the only place to get scans of these complete sets (circa: '49-'80), would be from Topps. Speaking of Topps, you would think they would have all this on their own website,

    but they don't!

    This collector/writer, David Hornish, who spent all the time to compose the bios on all these Topps sub sets, etc., and complete (as Steve noted) check lists on all cards in each set, has my sincere thanks!

    What a guy! image

    Its funny Steve, earlier today, I needed the check list for the sub set 1980 Topps Superstars Photo Cards, and sure enough, I found this guys' webste, and presto: there was the checklist I was looking for!

    You can add Don Mossi to the list of 55 Stamps. Unfortunately it is the only one I have. I have seen a scan of an Aaron

    FYI, here is a scan of one of the 1964 Topps Push-Pull cards:

    I was given this by a neighbor when they had to move back in the late '60s...
