Nice 1972 Topps Complete Set for Trade!! (scan heavy)

[JollyElm]

Over the years I have put together two complete 1972 sets and, man, they were both tough to accomplish!! I'm obsessed with that year because Willie Mays came to my Mets and it was the first time my brothers and I started laying down our nickels and dimes to buy baseball cards at the stationery store, which was a long walk away.

Well, that's neither here nor there, but I now have a pretty nice 1972 Topps complete set for trade. 787 cards in all their trippy, colorful, Grateful Dead looking splendor.

I recently scanned in every single card from the set. 88 pages worth of pictures! Check them all out here:

But, since the high numbers are the most important aspect of the set, here are scans of all of them to tide you over...










The good: This complete set is in pretty nice shape overall, including the high numbers. You'd be quite happy with it, so definitely look through all of the scans and see what you think!! It is important to note that I am on a non-stop upgrading kick, especially with regard to centering issues, so I am constantly improving small parts of it. The scans in my bucket are changed every time I upgrade a card. In fact, I just upgraded about 25 cards in the set this weekend, including a couple of HOF'ers. Also, I have a bunch of exceptionally nice PSA 8 and 9 high numbers (they can be seen in the vintage high numbers section of my bucket), so I'd consider swapping those out for their non-graded counterparts in a trade.

The bad: I believe I have eliminated any dogs in the set, and I am continually and actively replacing cards whenever I get the chance. The main issue throughout lies in the occasional soft corners (which, for some reason, always look worse in large scans)…and, as is the case with ALL 1972 TOPPS CARDS, the centering is all over the place! A minor stain will pop up here and there and other normal issues will occur across the 787 cards.

Now, what am I looking for in return for this complete set? I am definitely not looking to give it away. I can't stress this enough. I want to get something thrilling in return!! But, of course, I'm open to hear what you have to offer.

My collection runs from 1957 to 1979 with all of those years (Topps sets) either completed or in the process of being upgraded, so I am not necessarily looking for anything in that vein. The exception is the 1958 set, where I do still need the vast majority of cards. I'd also be very interested in nice upgraded (exmt or better) rookie cards of these guys:
1963 Pete Rose
1957 Brooks Robinson
1959 Bob Gibson
1967 Tom Seaver
I am very interested in 1964 stand-ups, especially HOF'ers, and upgrades of 50's and 60's stars. So having those types of cards included in a trade would be optimal. Beyond that, I'm pretty open.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.


Continuation of the high numbers…
