I have to laugh. The card is autographed, but is labeled as 'MK.' You almost have to yell, "I know it's marked. It has an autograph on it!!!" Perhaps it should have been labeled with the new 'MKYWKTAIIAMKBTAPOTC' qualifier:
"Marked. Yes, we know the autograph itself is a 'mark,' but there's also pencil on the card."

LOL, I thought the same thing tbh. It's got the "7" on the front, and thin diagonal pencil line on the back.

Have decided to build a 1975 (year I was born) Topps set. Got my first lot in today. Got a lot of just over 400 different with stars in Ex-Mt to NM condition for $65.

Upon looking at a few (I'm at work, so can't go through and check them all out until I get home), centering on the back seems to be the biggest problem. But I'm happy so far.

Will be looking to buy 2-3 more lots of around 200-300 each and then build the set and put them into pages and a notebook, both of which I still have to buy. Will sell/trade any extras and maybe do a 1974 Topps set next. Here's the start though to my 1975 Topps set:

Emily,

I love the 75 set and it was the first set I started to build when I got back into collecting 20 years ago. The Brett is one of my favorite all time cards. Nice choice.
