Well, true...but it is my 17th full set.

I have another 12 sets partially (mostly) full with binders/sheets awaiting the last ones. (A dozen more Bradshaw cards are needed)
And I have another large group of 11 sets started that I don’t have put in binders yet... but maybe this month when I get a few days off. That would make 40 partial sets. Kinda silly, eh?

Collect what you like...

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Do you collect Bartirome also?

One of my favorite sets as a kid. I busted a ton of packs in 1971; I was six. In 1977 I went into a local candy store with my family and found a partial box of 2nd series cello packs on sale. After much whining I got them all. Wish I still had them intact...one had a Bart Starr on top and one had a Namath showing.

Recently I purchased a small collection with some 1971s and some posters and game cards that were untouched. It was quite nostalgic opening crisp Topps posters for the first time. One of the handled posters was OJ and it turned out to have a beautiful vintage signature on it.
