But the 1972 Topps has always been my favorite design. I was 10 years old when they came out and I was in awe of them. I really like the 3-D effect of the team names. 1972 is still expensive in the higher grades (and high numbers), but still less expensive than the 1971 cards.

I was 9 when they were released.I love the design...represents the funky 70's.Thats also the reason for the basketball sets...popping colors.Interesting note on the summer of 72 and buying cards for myself.I live in south central PA. and Hurricane Agnes hit the area in June.Between shops being flooded and transportation disrupted it was difficult to find cards.Actually I bought most of mine later in summer.Probably had boat loads of high numbers!
