Great cards guys. Speaking of 1972.. finally acquired this Larry Brown IA card i've been wanting for some time.

Sweet Shawn, looks great, another high # down

Finished the '58 set last month with 3 unremarkable cards, a very reasonable vintage set. The Brown rookie is a beater and needs an upgrade. Concentrating on finishing '62 Post (159/200), and continuing those darn '77 Mexicans (137/528). At my current rate, the '77 set may take 5 more years (minimum), and I'll probably cave on condition just to acquire some cards. Next to those 72 high numbers, it is one of the more challenging sets I have run across. Not impossible with unlimited funds, but not my situation. Best of luck and happy collecting, great to see the progress on your '72's

I would love to see some scans of those '58s!

One of the few sets I've collected completely in the raw. The keyhole cards are not my favorite, but easy on the wallet. My set is G-VG/EX; with the exception of Unitas and Brown which are worse. I scanned these only for a template. Yes the bottoms are missing but I was looking for scuff/off coloring as is common in this issue, comparative decently centered cards, etc :

Good looking cards, thanks for sharing!
