Any 1970 Topps fans out there?

[Exhibitman]

The first packs I busted as a kid were 1970s but I am not a fan of the set, unless the cards look like these:

Adam, if you went out drinking with us you'd find all cards look like that eventually.

Actually those cards look just fine Adam, as long as you're wearing the special glasses.

I find the color pretty drab, particularly the earlier series cards. I do however like the '70's primarilary because they are my all-time favorite card backs. I love the Seattle Pilots wearing the uniforms, particularly the glitzy home uniforms. Disappointed in how drab and boring most of the Mets cards are with the exception of Cleon Jones and Nolan Ryan. Worst vintage Pete Rose card. I love the A's team card with Joe DiMaggio sitting in the front row, looking less-than-regal in the green uniform; Weird Sparky Anderson card wearing the airbrushed SD Padres uniform; Awsome Willie Mays and Harmon Killebrew cards.

first year I remember buying baseball cards too! And Rich, Im the one who sent you the photos thru Dave. IIRC only the 3rd series had some DP's (excluding CL's of course) but have to check my notes when I get home, John

This indeed is true. John I think the only DP's would be on either semi high or high number sheet, although Anthony's 44 x 3 array could refute this. Were you able to rustle those up?

Still have the Nolan Ryan I pulled out of the pack

Finally found half of the high series, printed in the 44x3 style, the other half sheet would be print in the same style with the other 44 high series cards. Note the 7th series CL was printed with the 6th series therefore it is a DP
