That TED KWALICK card is hilarious. He's running through a mist of colorful fairy dust and confetti. I guess Topps had to airbrush somebody out of the shot. Awesome!

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the cards! Who better to know, afterall the majority of the set came from Barry to start with.

As you've seen Barry, I made some upgrades on the set with a nicer Franco Harris and Jack Ham Rookies.

I wish I had the cards in stock to replace more of the wax stained on back cards, but as it is there are still a few that i did not have.

All told I ended up swapping out 53 cards in the set. Along with the Franco and Ham Rookies, the Len Dawson in the above post was another one I just happen to have a very nice one of. Thanks bud!

The Ted Kwalick card, Yes it does have the classic seventies Topps airbrush!

I know many complain about Topps and the lack of logos, and I guess maybe rightfuly so, but somehow that oh so great Topps airbrushing seems to make the cards more memorable to me. Its just how I remember them as kids.


Now on with the set!







Yuck! on the Dave Elmendorf card. Its one of the few in that lower 10%

YEAH! on the Scott Hunter, Dave Edwards and Bob Kutchenberg Rookie, all very sharp cards.







We're getting closer to completion on the Set.

I was one of those who complained on the lack of logos yet I like the cards because the 70s is when I started collecting. I did not notice or do not remember the lack of logos.

Yet, I loved the cards and looking at all of these brings back lots of memories of players long ago forgotten.

Thanks John for showing this set.

John, I have been meaning to ask you this as you continue to show the 1973 Topps FB set.

Are you strictly a football card collector or do you have baseball as well?

I am a football set collector and collect only cards of favorite players (such as Billy Williams, Ron Santo and Tony Oliva) and sub sets (All Star rookie cards and all star cards) in baseball.

Ok Im Back!, i apologize for the delay, got kind of busy with Halloween an all.

Erik,

From the time we were kids and over the years Ive pretty much had every seventies Topps baseball, basketball and football sets a few times over.
I also seem to have a compulsive disorder for lots of Non-sports cards as well.

While I do still have some various Baseball, about 10-12 years ago I decided sell most of my baseball and any basketball sets off to concentrate on my Football sets, which are my favorites.

I don't really know how I ended up with a ton of late 80's and early 90's Baseball, football and Even some hockey sets, my cousin was big into at that time and then just lost interest in it all and everything seemed to just end up in my man cave. Im sure theres lots of nice shiney Jordan's, Griffey's and Gretzky's, but im not really sure what to do with it all.

My main collection areas:

1934 Garbaty cigarettes Moives Star cards
1955 Topps All American Football SGC graded set (about half way on the set)
1968 to 1989 Topps Football sets (Incuding the Sticker sets from the 80's)
1976 to 1985 Fleer Team Action Football sets

I always looking for high grade cards for any of my sets, I have a complete want list posted on the PSA board. Maybe I should post it over here as well.
