Also, I am working on the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Topps All-Star Rookie Trophy card sub sets. I will eventually start on 1961 and 1963 trophy cards in the future.
I am five cards away from completing the 1967 Topps Football Set. I loved the AFL and '67 is the year of my birth.

That's the beauty of this hobby Erik: it all really is in the eye of the beholder. Anyone's collecting interest is just as valid and valuable as anyone else's, no matter the amount of money or time invested. I was a Cub fan for many years and loved Santo, Banks and Williams - biggest injustice in pro sports that those guys never reached the promised land, but makes their cards even more desireable, in my opinion. Appears that you were born the year of the AFL/NFL merger - how did you happen to love that league?
