1972
Agree with Darren, it is a great set, but what made you pick that year ? What "modern" stuff do you collect ? Did you see your shadow ?

I've been working on the 72's for years now, my favorite set, although I was always bummed out by the lack of In Action cards of the Cardinals.
Just need 50 easy high numbers now, which are pretty easy to find on Ebay if I wanted to finish it. Enjoy the chase.

Groundhog....
Email me your address and I'll look through my collection for dupes. I'm sure we'll find a few and they're yours at no charge. My only request is when you get older you "pay it back" to someone else new to the hobby. Best wishes, Scott scottglevy@yahoo.com

I mostly collect David Wright and the Packers(born in Green Bay). And no, I didn't see my shadow because all I can see is snow.

If you're studying for the SAT's, make sure you spell "journey" correctly.

I started the set in 1972. Finished it about 2 years ago just for kicks. I was missing most high numbers. They were easily found on eBay, all in great ex-NM shape.

1972 was the first set that I collected. I have little left from my 1972-1974 sets (but virtually everything I collected from 1975-1991).
About 10 years ago I got a great 1972 starter set at a huge discount at a show. The seller was packing up and sold me this and a 1971 starter set for about $100. I've periodically picked up cards for the 72 set and now need about 50 high numbers (all commons) to complete the set.

It's those darn high numbers. From about #656 to the end they run $4-6 each in ex condition and $10-12 each, and up, for nm. I foolishly am trying to assemble a nm condition set and am about 15 cards away. At $10-12 each those high numbers are killing me! If I had to do it again, I'd save up and just buy the whole set. For some reason, this is one set where the sum of the parts are way, way more expensive than the whole.
If you use ebay, I've had luck finding one seller with a bunch of cards at starting auction prices of 99 cents. I wait until the last minute and bid on a bunch of them. You get a combined shipping price that way and because they're plentiful (low numbers anyway), you'll often be the only bidder. The best luck I've had though has been to visit a card show. No guessing on condition, no shipping charges and you can walk around and shop for the best deals. And every dealer at a card show will give you a good break if you buy a bunch at one time. You can also find good starter sets as well. I would add that the "in action" cards seem to be really poorly centered and you'll pay a premium for nice ones.
