I'm currently working on a 1973 Topps set, nrmt. The HoFR's are graded, and the rest are ungraded. These are the first cards I halfway began collecting. I had some 70's and 72's, but those years were just random packs.
The cards I had growing up have been long gone, and in selecting a set to build, I wanted one that would bring back some childhood memories. I also wanted a set that had a key rookie card and was loaded with HoFR's. The '73 set has the last card of Clemente and of Mays.
While the cards are rather affordable, I believe the set is undervalued. Centering can be difficult for the set, and the black back of the card shows wear easily.
I'm also working on a 1969 set, but that endeavor is a very slow one.
The sets are something I do for fun, but I'm much more serious about collecting individual cards (HoFRs ) in the best condition I find within my budget.
