Any 1970 Topps fans out there?

Still have the Nolan Ryan I pulled out of the pack

I remember trying to complete the 1st Series and they only card I needed was #24 Dick Selma....Spent every cent I had buying packs trying to get that last card to finish the Series....Every box on my checklist was filled in except that one box....#24

Never did get one.....finally got it at one of the old Power Memorial card shows way back when.....SIGH,,, memories

Just like you, I bought a ton of 1st series packs and needed just #102 Joe Rudi to finish, but never got him. When I see that card, I still feel the need to buy it (big urge to hoard it) even though I got it many years ago for my set.

70 was the year I was born. It’s just about my favorite set.

I feel the exact same way about the 1972 Gil Hodges card.
