Another bugaboo is that there are a lot of cards that are commonly found with printer crop/cut lines. While TPGs may not severely penalize cards with this feature IMHO these really detract from the overall appearance. Ron Santo is noteworthy in that he is a high number and usually suffers from one of the following: print line at top, poor centering, tilt, a dark print splotch in the gray in the lower left. Took me a long time to find a nice one.
Another sore spot may be trying to find the all-stars well centered. The borders on these cards are so narrow compared to the rest of the set that many are very tough to find well centered in high grade.

A big plus on the 1970 issue in my opinion is the backs of the cards. The blue / yellow combo make them very easy to read. Especially in comparison to the next year, 1971.

Great point. Undoubtedly the best backs of the decade (not a huge feat!) but arguably the best back design among all of Topps’ years.

]I just registered my 1970 set at over 90% complete in PSA 8+
I have found most of the set obtainable and affordable (compared to other late 60's and early 70's sets) with the usual star power exceptions and some others previously mentioned. That said, the All-Star cards in the 400's are just a bear in high grade. Expensive and rare - rare and Expensive........they are. If anyone wants to donate a Reggie Jackson AS to the cause please mssg. me.......
