Opinions are like......and everyone has one.
The '71 set is the ugliest, most boring baseball card set ever made. Only a CPA could appreciate the '71 set! No career stats on the back, just the 1 previous year; (boring!) they chip if you just breathe on them, and they're....black! (blah!) Even the font used for the team name is boring. Like they used stencils from a grade school grade art class!
'72 all the way. They're the bomb man! They remind me of those cool Filmore rock and roll posters from the 60's. Each a work of art unto itself.
Look up "groovy" in the dictionary and it says, "See 1972 Topps baseball or Grateful Dead poster"
Seriously? Who would want this card? Blah! Boring!
