Thanks for the list! The 55 Topps set isn't surprising, but I would not have guessed that 69, 72, and 71 would appear near the top.

Ditto that

I expected the HOF set, AA and the 50 bowmans but none of the others. Very interesting.

Also interesting to see no football in the top 5 off all the sports.
