1970’s Topps Hall of Fame Project

There is something so beautiful about album pages filled with cards of great players that are in 'normal' collecting shape. It stirs up the childhood memories in all of us. Awesome!!

+1000! That's what it's about for me.

That's how I approach pre-1970 Topps collecting. I mostly had those cards in vg condition as a kid so that's how I like them now. 1970s were pack pulls for me, so I like them in better shape, though O/C cards are just fine since that is how they came out of the packs I opened.

Very cool project! A few of the RC's in the 70's may test your $25 limit as ASF123 mentioned. Still, I bet you get 90% of the way there and then you'll have to figure out your approach to the early Ryans and RC's of Fisk, Schmidt, Yount, Brett, etc.

I was able to pick up decent looking Fisk and Yount rookies recently for (a bit) less than $25.

Actually was able to get the Bret and Yount as part of a large lot of 1975’s and sell off the rest to basically mean those cards were pretty much free. The Fisk actually is easy under 20. The difficult cards are going to be the 1970 Ryan, 73 Schmidt, 71 Clemente and a couple others

I am now 279 cards in with an average of 2.08/card. As seen a number of the tougher cards are already in. Still haven’t figured out how to get the 1970 Ryan and 1973 Schmidt and still stay within my parameters.

Solid Clemente 73 and Mays 72 for $2 each.
