![jgrigali](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/us_ribbon_flag_md_clr_31914.gif)
Hooray, after a long search, I have finally finished off my 1978/79 Topps Basketball Set - all PSA 9's and 10's!!!

The last card was #92 Bob Dandridge, I found a PSA 10 and overpaid. Figured I would share a bunch of the other 78 Topps products i've collected during this journey.
First, a few of my favorite cards from the set:

I know there are vending boxes and uncut sheets out there, just haven't crossed paths with the right deal yet. Cheers!

I have always though the 77, 78, and 79 BSK sets were under-appreciated and really enjoyed seeing the fruits of your journey - awesome stuff!

I like all the complimentary items.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
i bet it all would display very well
...how come this set?
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

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.
Vintage Rookies
I remember when the low pops were zero pops, and getting the first George Gervin and Quinn Buckner was a beast too
I haven't updated or checked mine in a very long time, I believe it is still close to the top - 1978 Topp$Pit
I actually moved the Pelican case that it is stored in today and now this, I may have to jump back in.... Great Job!!
ETA: Back then I would battle it out with Museum Of Sports History for the top spot, MOSH had a pretty large registry going back then it was fun going at it
It's one of my favorites from the decade too.
This set may have the most in game action shots used in a basketball set.
