Love that your son is getting into it as well. Be cool to see some pics with his cards!

Yes, I did start with quite a pile! I was noticing that when doing the initial sort by 100's to get started.
I blame two factors for this: 1) the relative affordability of lots from this year and 2) the Net54 community, who provided some great lots that I couldn't say "no" to.
I wasn't a set collector until I started my 1976 project, but it's fun. Glad folks are enjoying the posts...it makes it a lot more fun and interesting to share the journey.
I think I may hit '78 Topps next. It's funny, but being a young collector in the late 80's and early 90's, that set seemed like an unattainable big money "vintage" set. Molitor/Trammel RC?! Eddie Murray RC?! Might as well have been Ruth and Gehrig to a kid scratching together $16 to buy a box of 1990 Donruss.
My son made ME sort the cards down into 100's, and he then sorted cards 1-100 down by 10's. He's got up to number 20 in the binder...so he's taking the slow approach. Ah, to be 8...
