The time has come to meet the Crisser! In part one I am going to share something near and dear to everyone here. No, not my personal stats.
Here are my favorite years of cards!:
Baseball: 67, 73. I'm a minimalist so I like the clean design. 73 action shots, bros!!
Football: 61-64 Topps, 64, 67 Philly!
Hoop: 61-62 Fleer. By a mile.
Favorite test issue: 68 3-D. Psychedelic, man.

Sounds awesome
Is Part II where you set up a meeting and never show; then say you were there?
Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
Prefer to buy in bulk.
Nevermind.
That part already happened. I guess it was Part .5

67 topps is my favorite card of Willie Stargell.
Just a great photo of pops.
Let's get to the real hot topics - Jordan or LeBron?

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.
Team Edward or Team Jacob. Asking for a friend.
Do you have any Blue Oyster Colt?

The 1967 set is my favorite Topps set of the 60s. There were also some great test sets that year I enjoyed putting together as well--67 Discs, 67 Stand Ups, 67 Pin Ups, 67 Punch Outs and the 67 Pirate and Red Sox Stickers.
I am not a huge fan of the 1973 set itself but enjoyed putting together all the variations, particularly the Manager/Coaches cards. Also put together the Pin Ups, Comics, Team Checklists and 53 Reprints from that year.
The 68 Topps 3D set is also my favorite test set. Topps did not attempt another 3D effort, as far as I know until the Topps Lineage sub set in 2011. I know they have some this year too. They did have a clunky non photo effort in the mid 80s.
I have finished the 68 3Ds but have never been able to get the Brooks Robinson prototype ( there is a board member who has one), or the 3 proof cards involving players who did not appear in the set. Keith Olberman did an article in SCD discussing the set and it's many variations, As far a I know there are only 2 front variations, Maloney and Fairly ( dugout or no dugout) but a host of different back differences
And the 61 Fleer is my only basketball set
Bowman Baseball -1948-1955
