It took me 8 years to complete this set in all 9's and 10's. Frank Tanana was the last card I needed. I have a few I want to replace.

    I am in a similar boat for the 75 mini set~been collecting it in PSA 8 or better since 2007, also, and need just 12 more cards to finish it.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Congratulations! Any set from this time in 9 or 10 is a great accomplishment. Throw in the colored borders and it's no wonder it took so long to complete. I agree with Mike, this is also my favorite set from the 70's. After the 81 is done, what is your next set?
