Wow! Getting all 752 cards is quite the feat.

Minus a few, I had been sitting on most of series #1 through #4 since the 1990s. Any time I made trades, or foolishly sold cards, I held onto them. I figured some day I would complete the set. Well, a couple of weeks ago someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse...all of series #5 and #6, 524 to 752, at a ridiculous price, and because he had many extras to get rid of (they're all gone now), all of my missing numbers numbers. I wound up with 16 extras or duplicates that I am mailing out tomorrow to a dear friend of mine in Tennessee. It feels really good to have this set, even if it is low grade. It only took me 4 decades to put it together!

And now it'll take just another four decades to upgrade every card up to the condition of the best you currently have!

Congratulations on completing your set. I'm within 16 cards of completing my set in near mint condition. I had hoped to pick up a few cards at the Boston show this weekend. But, radiation treatment side effects are still kicking my butt.

I'm praying for you, sir, that those side effects will go away.

Thank you. The doctors said that they would go away.

Nice achievement and great set to complete.. I can remember the kid across the street from me growing up with an unopened box he got for his birthday. It was beautiful.. I have a partial set.. someday maybe..

Congratulations on the completion.

IMO the 1971 Topps set is the best baseball set of the decade.
