That is a cool listing. The box states there are “over 700 cards” so I assume that at least the traded cards would be included (660 + 44).

Yeah, it talks about approximately 50 traded cards are surrounding the set. So that would mean that it was not available in 1973. Have to figure all the cards have San Diego and the corrections.

It was in the J.C. Penney catalog and this makes some sense. This was the 1st year Topps issued their cards all at once so putting them into a factory set made sense.

I would guess:

San Diego cards
Traded Set
Common #599
Common Alou and Apodaca

Regards
Rich

I could have sworn it was Sears that had the set. I remember my Grandmother picking one up for me. It was either 4.99 or 5.99 if memory serves me correct.

Could have been available by Christmas 1973 but it would have been a tight fit. All of the transactions in the "traded" set were completed by December 11, 1973.

"This was the 1st year Topps issued their cards all at once" Not exactly
It was the first year they were only available all at once, however.

Which brings to mind a tiff of sorts in a prior thread

No, 1974 Topps weren't available until April 1974. The traded cards weren't released until the summer. These were sold at the end of 1974.
