    Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972

  • Nothing major but pulled it myself out of a wax box from BBCE and sent it off to PSA. This card was awesome to own as a kid.

    Some very nice packs, there, guys! I like the variety across different sports and eras.

    The 1975 set is probably my all time favorite from the 1970s..

    Awesome stuff. Thanks for starting this thread Bigben7. Seems like a shortage of FB stars showing on packs. I will do my best to rectify this tomorrowimage

    Wow...what a rack! The Nolan Ryan is even centered...perfectly with outstanding color. Is that a regular or mini rack? Congrats on a special rack!

    This is currently my only unopened pack. Got it signed by Cal at an event at the ESPN Zone in Baltimore, probably around 2005.

    Like the '64 wax pack...first wax packs I opened as a kid. 71 Munson on top of rack pack is unbelievable. Where do you guys get these unopened packs? Almost too good to be true!

    Thanks, Minton~it is a regular-sized 75 rack, though I do have a few 75 mini racks, as well.

    Here are a couple more 75s:

    And another mini rack~this one, sadly, is no longer with us, but did yield a PSA 9 Yount RC and an 8.5 Aaron #1 Highlights before departing (along with a pop 2 Ken Frailing):

    grote, did they make 74 racks w/ header cards similar to the 71s on the other thread?

    was going thru the childhood collection and found 2 74 cards w/ same punch hole and everything that those 71 header cards exhibit....

    I know we've discussed this before, but are 1972 Basketball Cellos even known to exist in the general collecting community?

    John, how about posting a pic of the front of that cello?!?! Would love to see it as well as the front of the gai flip.

    I didnt even know topps produced basketball cellos; I know they did racks in 73 but had no idea they ever did cellos, period.

    Oh and btw, Wilt supposedly slept with 20,000 women, not a paltry 10,000!!image
