Barry

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the cards! Who better to know, afterall the majority of the set came from Barry to start with.

As you've seen Barry, I made some upgrades on the set with a nicer Franco Harris and Jack Ham Rookies.

I wish I had the cards in stock to replace more of the wax stained on back cards, but as it is there are still a few that i did not have.

All told I ended up swapping out 53 cards in the set. Along with the Franco and Ham Rookies, the Len Dawson in the above post was another one I just happen to have a very nice one of. Thanks bud!

The Ted Kwalick card, Yes it does have the classic seventies Topps airbrush!

I know many complain about Topps and the lack of logos, and I guess maybe rightfuly so, but somehow that oh so great Topps airbrushing seems to make the cards more memorable to me. Its just how I remember them as kids.


Now on with the set!







Yuck! on the Dave Elmendorf card. Its one of the few in that lower 10%

YEAH! on the Scott Hunter, Dave Edwards and Bob Kutchenberg Rookie, all very sharp cards.







We're getting closer to completion on the Set.
