    1952 Bowman, 61 topps, 66 topps, 75 topps, 84 topps and the rest are in 800 ct boxes.

    I prefer looking at the 66, 52 bowman has bio not stats.

    Very cool.


    I have Topps sets from 1975 to 2007 in binders. I guess my favorite would be 1975.

    Ya, me too. I can't tell ya how many damaged cards I've pulled from 9-pocket pages in my life.

    Besides... kinda hard to fit slabbed cards in pages. image


    I've been knee-deep in a '75 Topps set recently... and have read a majority of the 'stuff' on the backs of each card.

    I just put together a binder that contains all 25 SF Giants SGA (stadium give-away) team sets from 1983 - 2008 (no 2004 set). They were produced by Mother's Cookies, Kebler, and Emerald Nuts. I love these things!

    I just recently completed a set of Topps Chrome basketball Refractors that I put in a binder and pages. The first time Ive used a binder and pages since the 1997 Bowman Chrome set.

    ironman, that's amazing. image


    My only complete set is an unopened factory set of 1976 OPC.

    Love going through my binders!

    Baseball 1971 - 1985
    Football 1964 - 1989
    Hockey 1969 - 1986
    Basketball 1969 - 1982

    No dings - I placed them very carefully and page through them gently.

    The only set I own in a binder is a 1984 Donruss set, put together from packs back in 1984.
    Yeah, I uploaded that KC icon in 2001

    1989 Topps........I can't lie, its my favorite set design lol
  • Nathaniel1960Nathaniel1960 Posts: 2,332 ✭✭✭✭✭
    1962 Topps FB (vg-ex), not nice enough to have graded, except maybe Ditka, but nice enough to show.

    Also, 1970 and 1971 Topps Supers.

    And this recent pick-up, which will stay in the binder, except maybe I'll send in the Sayers and Butkus (the Kelly RC was sweet but O/C):

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230339289966

    Basically anything that's under 200 or so cards, so its manageable.

    Hands down 1975 Topps baseball. Also my very near complete 1979-80 Topps hockey.

    I enjoy looking through my 1969-1980 sets (excluding 1970+1972) in MJ Roop binders which I bought a few months ago from another board member. It is getting tougher to read the backs of cards that have the dark backgrounds(1974).

    I like looking at my 69 Topps Baseball. I pretty much put it together card by card, so I take extra special pride in it.
  • daddymcdaddymc Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭
    Mine is 1975 Topps baseball, though I will admit every now and then I get nostalgic about childhood and pull out my '81 Fleer Baseball & Star Sticker set binder out.

    My favorite is 61 Topps baseball. It is the only set I have that is completely graded, but I almost there is 65.
  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,180 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I have a 1955 Topps All American Football set. There aren't any stats on the backs, but the write ups on the college players are pretty cool.

    The set is raw except for the key cards, which I have in PSA 7 or 8. I was debating about doing the entire set graded but decided against it for now. Maybe next year.

    57 Topps--was one card away (Brooks Robinson) and had the brilliant idea to upgrade from EX/EXMT to EXMT/NM so now I'm set back and need about 100 cards. I also can't decide if I should spend several hundred for a lousy rare checklist....
  • MrVintageMrVintage Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭
    I still need a few cards to complete my 62 topps baseball set, but I still enjoy looking at the stats on the back.

    << <i>I still need a few cards to complete my 62 topps baseball set, but I still enjoy looking at the stats on the back. >>



    Does that include tint and pose variations too? I thought that would be a great way to complete the 62 set, even if it got a bit unruly. The binder would be a perfect place to showcase the differences.

    I have seen several larger 62 lots with a bunch of semi's, hi's and sp's going for about a buck a card in EX lately. Got me thinking I should start a set myself.

    No I haven't messed around with any of the variations

    Sorry about that blank post. Guess I got excited!

    I have all my sets in either Card Saver I or II's. I think that card savers are good because I like to hold one card at a time, plus they store better than binders. Just my two cents.

    The completed sets that I have:

    Baseball:
    1960 Topps
    1961 Topps

    Football:
    1956 Topps
    1957 Topps
    1958 Topps
    1959 Topps

    The partial sets that I am currently working on:

    Baseball
    1952 Topps (65%)
    1953 Topps (75%)
    1954 Topps (88%)

    Football
    1950 Bowman (90%)
    1951 Bowman (40%)
    1952 Bowman Small (25%)
    1954 Bowman (55%)
    1955 Bowman (80%)
    1955 Topps AA (60%)

    Not a bad start considering I have been collecting vintage sets for almost 2 years and am only 25!
