- while I have to say contemplating the devaluation is painfull - they do look really cool that way!
For me it was 73 topps - I was 7 and would bring pockets full of them to school to flip. Somehow I got a whole bunch of 72's as well which while I have no recollection of buying, flipping, etc. , I do sadly remember trading a whole shoebox full for comic books (got a pittance for them) at a comic book show
