1971 Topps Football - anyone else collecting this set?

[familytoad]

Greg …that’s 9 partial sets this week. Collated from a monster box full that I just didn’t have time nor card supplies for previously.

I’ve only got 31 Bradshaw cards. So that is how many are full sets. I still need some more Sayers/Namath/Greene cards to get farther along too.

It may be a sickness. Glad I’m not the only one…
Excuse me while I head over to eBay and look for large lots (again)

That is one amazing hoard. Bradshaw is what keeps me from doing what you’re doing at a lower level. I pick up large common lots when I see them at my price point, and then pick up a bunch of the lower stars I like. It’s not hard to get Brodie, Maynard, Alworth, Bell, Blanda, etc. for $1-$2 for a 3-5 grade card. Butkus and Unitas is only a little more. I think I have the most copies of Brodie. I think Greene and Bradshaw are the only cards I still have just 1 of. Never get tired of this set. I’ve started trying to do a 263 card set of miscuts (has to shown part of another cards photo or text at minimum, the more miscut the better) that should occupy me for a long time.

I’ve actually just started pulling out the severe miscuts into a separate pile with the notion of doing exactly what you are suggesting!
How cool is that!

I also only count a MC if it’s pretty serious, enough to recognize the other card.
We are aligned in our ways. I don’t have many miscuts yet but it sounds like a cool diversion while gathering over 100 Jim Butler cards…

I have other ideas on how to expand subsets of this awesome set.
I’ll post them at some point but not tonight 😂

Great minds think alike! I’d love to see your best (worst?) of the miscuts. I’m trying to find a Bradshaw early on.

Purple Sky's aren't just for 1963.

Picked this up at a card show. Parks is looking a little sunburnt...

Found in a small lot of 100ish 71's, 3 pretty out of register commons and another 'purple sky' printing issue. Nice surprise when these worthless but cool defects come in in lots.
