'73 Topps is my birth year set, and I've always been a bit conflicted by it. I only own a few cards from that set but recently it has grown on me due in part to all the weird camera angles and colors and an overall sense of self-awareness about perhaps being interested in cards from my own lifetime. I don't know if it makes sense to anyone else or not, but I have come to appreciate cards like '73 and '69 because they are so period specific. I'm a postwar collector who traditionally hasn't been interested in much of anything beyond about '65. However, even I have come to appreciate the airbrushing and some of the cheap parlor tricks used by Topps in the late 60s on into the 70s. However, I can see how collectors older than me might be completely turned off by these cards. Heck, I still have a ton of cards and sets from the 50s and 60s that I want, and I'm not certain when I'll put serious effort into the 70s.
