1973 Topps Blue Team Checklists
I am about to begin building the 1973 Topps set, but prices for unmarked blue team checklists are pretty crazy. For you set collectors, do you consider the set to be complete without the blue checklists? I am leaning that way since they aren’t numbered. Just interested in others’ thoughts. Thanks in advance. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I do not consider them a part of the set as they are not numbered. Would rather spend the cash buying cards I need. Otherwise I would but those last after I had the complete set as an alternative.

I have them for my set, but didn't and wouldn't have chased them except they were included in a lot I purchased when I started the set. I never remember ever seeing these as a kid, but I was only 3 when the set came out and only saw 73 cards from my buddies big brothers.
Were these a regular inserts into the packs?

It is my understanding that these were inserts in series 5 packs. They were also available as a mail-in offer. Like you, I don’t recall seeing them when I was younger, although I did not really begin collecting until 1974 so I did not have many 1973 cards as a kid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not only do you have to get all 24 Blue Team checklists, you have to get both variations of each team with one or two asterisks on the back

IIRC these cards were not issued in "series" packs but in the test packs if all 5 series released in places like Ohio and Florida which got those packs. I know I got a good amount of them in a store in Orlando Florida circa 1993
