My first Topps cards purchased from wax packs as a kid were 1968 but I really dove in to cards in 1969. I had probably 5000 or more but most disappeared over the years.
In 2019 I completed my 1968 set going card by card that I started in 2017. The average grade is Ex-mt 6 but many stars are NM 7. It was interesting to see how expensive some of the high number commons were but overrall it was a good project but I can't say that it was fun. Fun now to look at my binder.
In early 2020 I was going to do the same for 1969 but bailed on that. Just too much work and the pandemic boosted prices overall much more than I was willing to pay at that time.
So I applaud your 1967 effort! It's worth it though sometimes it won't feel so.
