Hi Al,

Not trying to be a pain but I still need to clarify this further. And I know that you know your stuff when it comes to these cards.

That said, are you just saying that the 70's are white when they're opened and the 71's are red when opened? Again, sorry for being a pain here but want to sure I know what you mean.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, Andy. I display my scratch off sets with my regular sets from those years in 9 pocket sheets folded. When opened up to the game boards the backgrounds are white or red

Tom---I treat these sets like my other insert sets. I store them in sheets behind my regular set for those years. I do not view them as part of the set ( nor do I view Traded or Update sets as PART of the regular set). But since my collecting parameters were all things listed for Topps in SCD prior to 1995, I had to have them

I think you could also get the 74s on uncut sheets as a send away redemption, which is why you can find some hand cut.

I also do variations for all my sets but rather than side by side, which if I picked up later variations would require shifting all my cards ( like my friend Steve ), I overlay them in a separate sheet

Hi Al,

Thanks a lot. That's what I thought you meant but needed to make sure.

Sorry for hijacking this thread also. So to actually be a part of the original discussion...

I share the feelings of those who do not consider the Traded series cards to be part of the standard set and do not include them in my checklists for each year. I would consider my set complete without them and then set up a separate wantlist for the Traded cards if I wanted to go after those as well.

Thanks,

AndyH
