1971 Topps - Set Complete!
It isn't pretty to look at, and won't win any "Best of Show" awards, but I just finished my 1971 Topps set. I have been trying to figure out which set to complete from the years I collected from wax packs as a kid. I went with 1971 because I have been sitting on a big pile of them for a long time (since the 1990s) and a huge lot suddenly fell into my lap the other day. Nice thing is there are only a few duplicates, because I had almost all of series 1 through 4, and the cards I recently acquired were series 5 and 6, the so-called semi and high numbers. I think the 1971 Topps set is great looking. The black fronts make the color photography really pop, and the green backs, while they only have minimal stats, complement the card fronts.
