Anyone like '67's?

Thought I'd share a few that I've picked up over the past couple of months for my set. Here are some of the stars and some of the ridiculously tough high numbers. I subbed some of them myself and bought the rest. The Brooks Robinson card is one of my favorites.

Beautiful cards. The first packs I bought as a kid in mass. Used to buy the 6 pack wax trays @ the IGA for 25 cents each. As a 7 year old I didn't understand the "series" thing and wonderd why I kept getting the same 132 cards over and over. FInally finished my set in the late 80's after running into a high number lot at a show in Cincinnati. I then started a second set (autographed) of which I am now up to 427 different cards but have really slowed down the work on. This is my favorite all time card both signed and unsigned.

One of my favorite sets. I particularly like the full pictures on the cards.

Nice work, Tommy. I like the '67 set a lot.

I love the 67 set still working on my raw set.
there are some very nice cards in thar group.the high numbers are killer,congrats

Thanks for the OP for sharing the cards. They're very nice to view.

Nice follow-up story by Smuggo. My brother and I long held the 1967 Brock-Flood card in reverance, though all the '67s were issued before we were born.

To me, 1967s are the best-looking Topps Baseball cards from the mid or late '60s.

Thanks for scanning those, what a sight. Do you have the entire set, and are they all graded?

Rogermnj · April 16, 2010 12:33PM

I think my eyes dont work properly, almost every 67 looks tilted to me. Is it just the year or im nuts?

I dont mean your cards , i mean 67s in general.

heritage · April 16, 2010 12:43PM

The 67's can have trouble with that (tilt) at times.

jeffcbay · April 16, 2010 1:04PM

Wow, nice Brooks! That's the only one I'm missing for my basic set... I'd be happy to have it in a 3 though!

SOM · April 16, 2010 1:07PM

Almost all of those high numbers are pre-half-grade, so you might have even better cards than you think!

bobsbbcards · April 16, 2010 1:12PM

Gorgeous cards! Thanks for sharing.

GDM67 · April 16, 2010 2:06PM

Lots of us love this set.

stevek · April 16, 2010 2:14PM

very nice cards - PSA 6, 7, and 8's in my opinion are nice values in this year - many not too expensive for some very nice cards.

Estil · April 16, 2010 2:21PM

Kind of a silly question; the 1967 set is considered by far the most popular 1960's Topps baseball set (though I personally like 1965's design better). Though 1967's main claim to fame is the photos and conserative design, don't overlook the distinctive olive green (very appropriate for the late 1960s) back design either.

Cool autos!

But what's with the Whitey Ford one? It doesn't even resemble the facsimile on the card. Not even close!

corvette1340 · April 16, 2010 9:17PM

I can't even imagine what an entire '67 auto'ed set would fetch. Is it even possible to obtain due to some of the deceased players?

To answer a few questions, I have around 120 graded right now with an average of around 7.5 and the only 6 being the Seaver. The rest of the set is raw and averages NM. I still need to obtain/upgrade several high numbers and a few of the low numbers.

Also, thanks to SOM who pointed out that all of the high numbers were pre-half point. It might definitely be worth sending them in on a review special. The VCP on those high numbers, even the commons, is crazy as anyone that has ever delved into that market knows.

Kevin Burge could probably whip a set right up for ya

Sabrgeek · April 16, 2010 10:48PM

My favorite design of the 60's. And I hope to be living for another six years to see what the 2016 Topps Heritage product does in honor

parkerj · April 16, 2010 11:20PM

Beautiful cards....i'm just starting this set raw and can't wait to build upon it.

itzagoner · April 16, 2010 11:51PM

why yes, yes i do like '67's, thank you for asking.

bishop · April 17, 2010 12:00AM

Great cards, Mr. Corvette and all

babybull · April 17, 2010 1:28AM

My favorite set of all time. I was nine years old in 1967, I just had discovered baseball cards and my beloved Redbirds won the World Series. Funny thing...I live near St. Louis and the high series was easier to find in my area than the second to last (semi high) series was. Plus, that card set is chock full of many of the game's greatest players.......

Smuggo · April 17, 2010 6:05AM

BabyBull (A Cepeda reference I am assuming) I am right there with you. I was born in 1959 and this was the first set I really pack a lot of packs of. It also coincided with the Redbirds great 1967 season and that is why I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread that the Brock/Flood card is my all-time favorite but I love all of the '67 Cardinals cards.

The facsimile autograph is "Edward Ford" (Whitey's given name).
