My 1966 Topps Set Pickups and Updates
 
Hello,

I'm new to the forum and will post my 1966 Topps Baseball Set/Collection. Just starting the set now.

If anybody has some cards please PM me.

Thanks

I have the following cards in the mail #'s-3,4,6,10,12,13,14,15,16, and 17.

I'll post pictures when I get them in hand. More cards to come!

Welcome Natsfan!

You will find many folks here have tackled the tough 66s, and there is a lot of passion for this set. Still my favorite...it's a tough fun journey. Good luck! Keep an ebay search for card #591 saved...:D

Thanks, man. 66 Topps Look really nice and the sharpest of the Pre 1980 topps sets. I really would like to finish the set.

I agree, its my favorite. You'll find some folks think it's bland...I think they are on crack...haha...

66 Topps
 
Agreed with John's recommendation to be on the lookout for #591, I also found that #544 was super hard to find! It is best to be on the lookout at your local shows and card shops from all the high numbers. They are pretty good trading currency for helping you finish the set...

Good luck! I will send you a PM, as I have some 66 Topps to trade

Thanks to some of the great members on here, I will have some 66 Cards coming. Members shipped me them for free.

I must be on crack then John. :D

Seriously, it is not a bad set but in my opinion it is sandwiched between two GREAT sets, the super colorful 1965 set (my personal fave) and the classic 1967 set. So, I think the 66 set gets lost in the shuffle because of this.

Mine too. Working on 3 1965 Topps sets in various conditions.

However, I appreciate other Topps sets from that era and would like to see some scans of NatsFan's '66 Topps. Good luck on the set.

I like the 66 set very much. Certain high numbers are extremely hard to find in good condition. Other than the high numbers I find the 67 set and the 61 set much easier to find. Being from Missouri, the 66 high numbers are much harder to find than 67's which have a hotbed in St. Louis. They must have shipped a lot of them there as the Cardinals won the Series in seven from Boston that year. I have heard from East Coast dealers that Boston also has quite a lot of 67 highs.

Working on three different 1965 Topps sets? I wish I could work on one right now. :D

Good luck David!
