I love the 71 set..its a beautiful card set..but ofcourse it is maddening if you want to collect them in near mint like condition..you just have to accept the lower grades..and just enjoy them..when I was a kid I ofcourse recolored the borders if they got chipped......its funny that a lot of the cards are now considered trimmed too..I never did that as a kid.....but I upgraded over the years...and bought some from unopened boxes...and they were smaller than normal size...and if I tried to get them slabbed i'm sure they will come back rejected...but mine are in album sheets so it doesn't matter.... looks great as is in all its EX condition glory...
