I found the 1974's tough also but the 1971 high series was toughest and most expensive.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I know Pete gets no love, but I was thrilled to pull this from a pack in 1965.....and for OPC, great centering. Still one of my fave cards!

That is a great looking Rose. Looks like a PSA 8.

Doesn't it seem like Topps purposely made the USA card backs unreadable in the 1970s? From 1971-1980 I can't think of a single year where the OPC card back wasn't easier to read than the USA card back. In 71 and 74 especially so.
