1964-65 Topps Hockey "Tall-Boys"
OK the basketball guys have their '69-'70 Topps "tall-boys" with the Alcindor RC, but that set is easy compared to our hockey set '70-'71 Topps basketball "tall-boys"? I completed that set blindfolded!
The football side will claim the '65 Topps "tall-boys" with the Namath and Biletnikoff RCs, which do present a challege I suppose. All you need for your Namath is a "fat stack 'o cash", and as for Biletnikoff, if he is so tough how come I have an extra one? The toughest "tall-boy" set to complete is the '64-'65 Topps hockey! 110 cards in the hockey set, and released in two series. High numbered cards #56-#110 are tough to find! I'm down to ten cards needed, so I'm getting there. Biggest card I still need is #106 Stan Makita All-Star. Who else collects this set? Larry

OK now I find out there are also short printed cards
Each 55-card series contains 11 short-print cards. 1st Series SPs: 8 14 20 27 28 32 33 39 48 51 55 2nd Series SPs: 58 59 72 73 74 80 91 92 98 105 106 My wantlist reflects this, out of the ten cards I need, eight of them are SPs. Larry

tallboys
morning Larry, i completed the set 15 years ago by going to card shows (it is the completed set on the SGC registry); had the most success at the National in Toronto. You just don't see enough of the high numbers on ebay and it is not always the SP either. Regular hi number commons are mostly forgotten and not listed. Stay the course as it is a really nice feeling to fill in those blanks!
