High Number Trouble
In working on your Topps set, which year (or years) gave you the most difficulty with the high numbers? (Of course 1952 which is very noted)
I had a lot of difficulty with the high numbers of 1961, 1966 and 1967. I think they are the toughest.... 1964, 1965, 1968 and 1969 are the easiest. Last edited by 1963Topps Set; 11-23-2014 at 04:48 PM.

From the 1960s, I would agree on your list...outside of the 52 Topps Hi#s, the 53 Hi#s are tough and the 72 Hi#s can be a challenge also.

The high numbers from the years you stated are extremely tough…and then there are the high number SP's that just kick your butt.

I am so old that I built those sets back in the day when it wasn't so tough
The 52 high numbers did set me back, especially the variations of the 3 DPs and the other variations Last edited by ALR-bishop; 11-23-2014 at 09:48 PM.

This is what stops me from chasing the sets. I didn't like buying the high numbers for my Tiger run.
I have a nice start to the 1967 set (over 550 different), but those SP high#'s have prices that don't fit in my world.

I know what you mean. I love the idea of set building but can't ever see myself doing it again. There are just so many cards in so many different sets I want that I dabble in many different sets getting little pieces here and there. I also find myself getting impatient while building a set. Paying big bucks for players I don't easily recognize gets frustrating for me, too. For instance, I really like '53 Bowman Color, but there are tons of other star cards in other sets I really want. Ultimately, I will probably buy the stars from that set I want and move on.

It is amazing that a high number common from some of these years will cost you more then a low number star!
