The older I get the harder it is for me to spot/see large v small print variants like that one . Congrats on 74 and good luck on 67

I am still working on my NMt-y 65T set, but I am getting farther away from finishing. I thought I was down to 40 cards, but then I made the mistake of looking through what I had, and I found about 60 cards that need to be upgraded. So now I have 100 to go. Here is my Mantle, and my latest pickups.

Great Looking cards Al

I recently picked up the last 1969 Topps Super I needed to complete my set - Yaz.

Fini!

Congrats again, Zach.
Great accomplishment!

Last Sunday evening I made several eBay purchases myself which allowed me to complete the '65 set I'd been working on. Now I'm waiting like a little kid on Christmas Eve for the mail every day. This has to be, IMHO, the nicest looking set of the 1960s. 1967 is great, as is 1961, and I know a lot of people love 1962, but these are beautiful.

Congrats on the 52's and 65's guys. I like the look of the 65 set also. I am 23 cards away from a 55 Topps set, including the print variations. I still need the big rookies and a few of the other stars. I am also about a third of the way into a 54 Topps Scoop set and I already have the Ruth. Good luck hunting for the rest of your sets everyone.

Finally getting closer on completing my 72 Topps Set - 5 to go: Bench, Rose, Ryan and Bahnsen/Reed on the high numbers. Been a journey.

Was thinking of shifting back to focusing on 71 Topps, but may need a break from the high number insanity and will probably work on completing the 78 Topps, instead.

Rounding out the tails on a 70s set run - have had 73-77 done for a while.

Congrats on 65 Dewey

Jay---also congrats, the 69 Super set ( odd name for little cards) is one of my favorites....other than that horrible Pete Rose

Ben---on 55 variants, have you seen this site ?

Finally completed my 1959 Topps Set. The last card was #564 Mantle AS. My set totals 612 cards as I have included variations and some print variants.

This is probably the last large Topps set I'll complete. The ones I don't have complete either would be too expensive to complete or I am not really interested in the set/design.

So now I am working on the set of 1961 Fleer Pennant Decals (have 16 of 48) and 1965 Topps Transfers (have 20 of 73). The 65 transfers are the only insert set from 1965 to 1970 (when I collected as a kid) that I have not completed.

Mike---congrats on the 59 set. It is the first one I finished and a sentimental favorite

The 65 Transfers are sure delicate. Much different form the 66s. There is one true variation , Hunt shown at 2B or SS

Don't know many others that collect the 61 Fleer pennants. The team logos seem to be more popular
