As many of you know I am somewhat fixated on the 1970 Topps BB set. I'm getting close to completing the upgrade of my registry set to all 9s and 10s, but I
just completed the All Star sub-series in all 9s (a first for all such sets) and waited until the last card was in my posession before making the news public.

So here for your enjoyment is my pod of grey whales (3 years in the making), the 1970 Topps BB All Star sub-series (450-469) all in PSA 9.

(Needless to say I am a bit pumped right now)

    Well done. I'm likely in the decided minority, but this is my favorite design from the 1970s. It just feels more "vintage-y" to me and, yes, I especially like the All-Star subset design.

    One of the most difficult subsets of any PostWar set to find mint. Awesome feat, bro!

    Congrats!!! Anyone that has put serious effort into this set understands the incredible challenge of finding the AS cards with decent enough centering to qualify for even a PSA 8. The added burden of being sharp enough for PSA 9 is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.

    I recall when I finished my raw set, the last "MINT" cards I needed with 50/50 centering were Frank Betaina, The A.L. Rookies (#702), Sam McDowell AS and the Johnny Bench AS...

    That's the way it's done. Probably the best assemblage of 9's possible - a rarity among rarities.
    Congrats 70TF!

    This is a HOF accomplishment. Seriously, these cards are so hard to find in high grade.
