1976 Topps PSA Graded Cards

Before starting the project, I do have a handful of 1976 Topps cards that are graded.



For this project, I'll target PSA graded cards only, PSA 7 and above, with no qualifiers. For most, I'll probably target PSA 8, with the exception being for those that 8's get a big pricey.

At some point I'll get photos or scans of the graded cards.

Love the idea of doing it as well as the idea of keeping track of it.

BTW, some ebay sellers have pretty decent deals of lots from the 1970s. I'm thinking of doing a 1975 Topps set (my birth year). Right now I'm working on 62 and 58, but neither are binder ready (only a handful of each). Also I've been chasing "binder" sets as well as Ex-Mt to NM is what I look for. I know one guy who will buy the card no matter what they look like even if they're bent/creased, bad corners whatever. He says he'd rather have it in bad condition than not have it at all.

Good luck with your chase. I'll try and keep up with it.

Thanks @wdwfan! The journey is definitely more important than the destination here!

One of the things that made '76 attractive was the lack of high dollar RC's. No such luck with '75. '75 is such a "70's" set from a design perspective!
