What shape are you looking for and do you have vintage to trade?

1972 is by far my favorite set of all time, so good luck to you!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

I put together a 69 Topps set pre-internet in the 80s while in High School, I know the challenge! Good luck in your journey, very cool. Great set...I'm about 45 short myself...

Agree with Darren, it is a great set, but what made you pick that year ? What "modern" stuff do you collect ? Did you see your shadow ?

I've been working on the 72's for years now, my favorite set, although I was always bummed out by the lack of In Action cards of the Cardinals.

Just need 50 easy high numbers now, which are pretty easy to find on Ebay if I wanted to finish it.

Enjoy the chase.

Groundhog....

Email me your address and I'll look through my collection for dupes. I'm sure we'll find a few and they're yours at no charge. My only request is when you get older you "pay it back" to someone else new to the hobby.

Best wishes,
Scott

The reason why I collect this set is because I love the borders in the set and it has some nice rcs and hofers.
I mostly collect David Wright and the Packers(born in Green Bay).
And no, I didn't see my shadow because all I can see is snow.

If you're studying for the SAT's, make sure you spell "journey" correctly.
