Jeff, that's the truth! Those 60s baseball sets are endless! I have zero desire to ever do one of those again. To each his own, but 70s Topps football holds next to no appeal for me. A couple of designs are ok, but like you said the sets get larger, and I detest the airbrushing of the logos! Someday if I am fortunate enough to have the 60s sets I want, I may venture into the 50s for a couple of Bowman sets.
