About two months ago, my friend gave me most of his childhood collection: Topps Baseball 1967-1969. Each one is missing quite a bit of the commons and the condition of each set is pretty bad, but that's not too much of a problem. What he didn't have were all of the major stars. I will have to live without the 67 high numbers, missing all of the cards for Clemente; Mantle; Bench; Ryan; Aaron (67,69); Mays (67,68); Reggie Jackson (69); plus many of the stars that don't command the same amount of money. This is not a complaint, but it's going to take me quite awhile to put these three sets together- just like when I was a beginning collector in the early 1970s. I am reliving my childhood!
