Nice to snag not one, but TWO Winfields...certainly not a high dollar card raw in this condition, but I like it!

I have about 200 Topps 75 minis if you want to trade and work on this set as a project.

Thanks...I'll keep that in mind. I just have started over the last few days thinking about what may be next.

I'm toying with 1975, 1977, or 1974. '75 has some pricey rookies (which is good and bad), but has condition sensitivities. '74 and '77 don't have the high dollar rookies, so may be a bit easier.
