I am card fanatic but what is the attraction to the 1975 Topps MINI's? I could understand if the player was in a different pose, but tell whats the attraction.
In the USA all men are created equal but some are more equal than others....

They are small, but not too small, and cute. You should post this question in the 1975 Mini Thread in the PSA Registry forum, about half way down page one. Not sure how many of the folks in that long thread are still around but they were or are a fanatical group.

It was produced in lesser quantities, no??
Take a group of woman 5'10" tall.
Some will only appreciate a man 6' or so.
While there's a group who actually like dating shorter men.
I just guess that's why Sherwin Williams makes so many different shades of blue?
75 mini set is very popular. It's an acquired taste for some, but I prefer it over the regular sized version.
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.
Regional distribution, smaller print run, in 1975 SSPC and Topps were the only companies producing comprehensive sets. I don't know why, but in Seattle I was buying 1975 minis from 7-11. I thought this was a product of the recession - charge more for less (smaller gum piece, smaller card, but bigger price .25/pack?). I love '75 minis just because they were different. What a fun set - full size or mini. Two super rookies, MVPs, investment potential in high grade due to full bleed borders.
Asking a collector why they collect something is like asking a mountain climber why they climb mountains.
They went from .10 cents a pack in '74 to .15 cents in '75 at least in Oregon where mini's were also sold.
This blows my mind. There is absolutely nothing reasonable about anything going on around here. Somebody pays tens of thousands of dollars more for the same card because under a microscope there's a splotch of paper loss on the back of the other cardboard picture of a grown man? Some people collect the exact same thing except theirs is still inside the crystal clear cellophane wrapper and the other person's isn't?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you're reading this, you fell off the U.S.S. Logical many nautical miles back. Don't attempt to understand it, it will only give you the brain pain.

Hiya Tim
Ya know?
I think it's the perfect "proportion" of cool.
Well, the guy who "cut" the sheets of cards was called Brutus...Brutus was big man, really big man and he didn't have much regard for nice straight cuts..He preferred making sure all of the cards were off center, diamond cut or even cut too short..He worked there every day, cutting these cards, except for one single day, think it was the 3rd Wednesday in June. On that day, all cards were cut perfect with 50/50 centering. Everyone is now looking for packs that were made on that single day of the year, because the rest of the packs are normally terrible
