June Pickups

Yeah, I know, just some 70's stuff, but it's a bucket list thing, collect all the sets of the cool older cards that I found from friends, their older brothers, cousins, garage sales, when I was a kid buying packs in 78-80.

Just filling in some gaps in my 1972 set. I only need Munson, the 2 Roses and Al Kaline and I'll have 1-656 complete, with 76 high numbers to go.

I also have some 1971s on their way, only 16 high numbers left to complete that set.

Love those '72s, such a rad looking set.

Upgraded my Clemente!


And my favorite photograph on any 70s card:

Don't apologize for what you collect. We all have different reasons we collect and different eras, sets, players, etc that we collect. Keep doing what you enjoy and keep sharing!

Dude! In this forum, we're all bitten by that same bug! Outstanding that you're closing in. Keep it up!

Couldn't pass up the centering on this one.

Some more came in today. I had the Seaver, Carlton and Johnny Bench In Action card as a kid. I haven't seen them in 25 years when I lost them in the early 90's. It was one 500 count box or something, so it wasn't like a huge collection... but it's like seeing old friends again.

I also had the Willie Mays In Action card but never liked them because they weren't the "real" card of the player...ahhh, the stupid things you think of when you're 9 years old. I traded a whole set of KISS cards for the "real" 72 Mays card back then, but turns out my friend was a rat fink and took it from his brother, so I got the KISS cards back, lol.
