The Top 10 Topps Baseball Cards of the 1970s

[rats60]

From your list, the 1972 Clemente. From any cards, the 1970 Topps Johnny Bench. The game's best catcher at the peak of his career. That was a card we were all chasing in 1970.

My Top 10 would be
1970 Bench
1970 Mays
1971 Munson
1972 Clemente
1974 Seaver
1974 Ryan
1974 Reggie Jackson
1975 Brett
1975 Rose
1976 Schmidt

I'm assuming your asking for regular issue Topps cards; is that correct? If not, I'd have a totally different listing. It's a slight possibility that I may or may not be partial, but I'd go with the cards as follows:

1A. 1971 Brooks Robinson
1a. 1975 Brooks Robinson

Then after that, in no particular order would be:

'74 Brooks
'72 Brooks
'70 Brooks
etc....

What about 1971 Topps #331?

Correct! I was somewhat kidding about those being the Top 10 (to me they are). I'd probably go w/the '71 Munson; such a cool looking shot. Likely the '72 Clemente after that; that is of course if you're talking other than Brooks...

Ha! I'm really not a big fan of the '71 Topps 331 picturing Brooks crawling through the Sierra Desert...
