The 64 set is kind of a sleeper, being between the 63 and 65 set, but I really like it. Not a fan of the 66 set. Why is the card stock so poor? Like the 62 set, and I should note that I do not like the 71 baseball, but for some reason the black boarders work for me with the 62's. The 62 set also has cool backs. The 69 set is another that I like if the cards are in high grade. I feel that it loses something if the cards aren't sharp. To me the backs are half the card, and you can't beat the 64 set when it comes to the backs.

The 1964 set is colorful and has some rookie cards of two of my favorite AFL stars, John Hadl and Daryle Lamonica. |

I suppose it might be a bit of an understatement to admit to being rather fond of the 1968 Topps Football Set.
1rst & 2nd Series cards appearing on the board, as they did on the uncut sheets. Last edited by mojorob; 12-18-2013 at 10:24 AM. |

Now that is way cool Kirk!
Awesome display! Now that I remember, you also did some great pictures/display for 1969 Topps Baseball. Tons of cards, wax packs, wax boxes, inserts. Not sure which I like more this display for the baseball one. Again, thanks Kirk. Last edited by Samsdaddy; 12-18-2013 at 12:38 PM. |

That's a cool display. I never put the cards together so I never realized Dawson was part of a puzzle. Funny how they used a photo of him with the Browns.

You are very welcome Kirk.
Have you done any sort of display for other Topps sets besides the 68 Football and 60 Baseball? I take it those are your two favorite years of Topps cards for each sport? |

You're right, they're my favorite sets, and the first ones I collected as a kid. If by chance you might have an interest, here's a link to my 1968 Topps Football Registry Set. A couple scans from the set. http://www.psacard.com/PSASetRegistr....aspx?s=111467 Last edited by mojorob; 12-18-2013 at 11:17 PM. |

If you still post, I came across the following from a 2012 Sports Collectors Digest online story on the 1968 Topps Football set and lo and behold, you and your '68 board are featured. Hope all is well with you. http://www.sportscollectorsdigest.co...for-collectors I hope no one minds me bringing back this thread. The pictures are worth seeing again!

Thanks for reviving this thread. I am in the process of deciding what set I want to start with. I have looked at several of these. Some good candidates here!

I like the 1965 Philadelphia, plus the 1969 Topps.

It's always tough to choose a favorite set but one has been mentioned but no pictures shown is 1963 Fleer. I really, really like the nice clean design and think the red borders look sharp. It's a small set but packs some star power.
Anybody else a fan? jeff |

I am a Topps guy and my three favorites are 1967 - 1969 with the 1969 set being my favorite. I think it is a very colorful set, first series has no borders so condition is tougher for those while the second series has borders. Key rookies include Larry Csonka and Brian Piccolo, plenty of Hall of Famers as well as some excellent stars of the day such as John Hadl and Daryle Lamonica. Currently, I am working on the 1967 Topps set and then will go after 1968. Though I said I am a Topps guy, you can't go wrong with any set from this decade. Lots to choose from and they are all good! |

I'm a big fan of the '60 set.
