At the height of my youthful card collecting, you could never find even a single one of them that didn't look like a nun's habit. And we weren't into condition (like it is nowadays) at all. All of our other cards had the usual wear on them, but we didn't mind. The 1971's, though? They were a nightmare! Like musical tastes, it's fascinating how perceptions vary.

I used to not like them, but then I had a couple that were beat up already, so I didn't care about the borders, and while the design captures the style of the 1970s, it isn't garish like some of the others Topps cranked out. I keep going back and forth on it, right now I like it, ask me again in six months and I might not.
