I've been working on my 1967-69 Topps Baseball sets. I found some great deals on commons from local shops, the show in Pasadena, eBay and through fellow collectors on Old Baseball Cards. Where I will run into difficulties will be the 68 Ryan and Bench; and in 69 it'll be Mantle, Ryan, and Jackson to start with. I am leaving th 67 high numbers alone.
When my friend gave me his childhood collection, many, many of the cards were creased. I'm upgrading the worst ones, plus most of my newer additions are VG/EX to EX. I'm thinking about bulking out my extras from 1971, 72, and 73 to see if I can raise the funds to get some of the major stars, unslabbed, in g to vg condition. These are going to be "rat rod" type of sets, ugly in some ways but still interesting to look at.
