Yes, I have them in a binder and look at them all the time. There are some interesting cards in the set, especially with the Seattle Pilots team that did not exist in 1970. Card 88 has a rookie pitcher who pitched the last pitch for the Pilots in 1969 and he was murdered in the off-season in Puerto Rico. The managers card, Dave Bristol, #556, shows him in a uniform he never managed a regular season game in.

I'll try to upload some pictures later.

I also did the same thing with the 787 card 1972 set...bought a decent set and upgraded it. It also cost me an arm and leg to upgrade the high number cards. But I love that set too.
