The 77 set is sneaky tough in nice condition. As you have noticed the paper is a little thinner and the cards are prone to chipping.

Keep having fun with the set! I'm enjoying the thread.

Glad you're enjoying the thread! You're not kidding about the condition of this set...it's a real challenge!

Picked up:

#8 Leading Fireman

$2.09 delivered.

This gives us every card in the set from 1-276. So that's something!

Design-wise I thought this was a underrated set. The expansion year cards of Seattle and Toronto with the airbrushing really hold it back in the eyes of collectors.

Yeah, overall I agree that these have kind of classic "baseball card design".

I can see what you're saying about the expansion teams...but once you go single series, what else could they do, right?
