1972 Topps - We lived in Hawaii. I never completed the set. I still have the cards. All of the cards are from the first and second series. As a military kid, we played baseball, football and basketball. We just kept playing the next sport on the calendar. I don't know if my mind had shifted to playing football or the third, fourth and fifth series never made to the islands. While in college, after I was slightly over-served at a bar, I ended up at a 7-11 type of establishment. As I approached the counter with my armload of goodies, there sat in all its glory was a box of 1981 Topps. I said right there "I never finished the 1972 set but I am going to complete the 1981 set." I completed the set and kept going, although the card producing insanity of the late 80's, early 90's drove me away from completing sets.
