Well, nothing rounded but if there's white present that's fine with me.
So far I've gotten 73 of the high numbers, including the Allen and Baker/Baylor. Star-wise, I 've picked up the Fingers, Carew, Morgan, Ted Williams, Aaron, Yaz, Palmer, and Mays. Next will be the Clemente in vg/ex and whichever stars I can get in the $5-20 range until the funds run out once again.

An update, as of this morning I am down to 29 cards to complete my 71 Topps Baseball set. I still need the Munson, Carlton, Bench, Seaver, Killebrew, and B. Robinson as the major stars to mention a few needs. Mainly, I wanted to mention two members of Net54 who have helped me tremendously in putting this set together: Brian Noll and Rich McQuillan, who were responsible for about 85% of the cards that I now have. They were fantastic in their communications, fairness, and the quality of the cards that I received from them. Tim Connoy is sending me a few singles and I had a great conversation with Tod Sloan, who I hope to pick up some cards from for upgrades as well as singles for my next project- a 1971 Topps Football set! The assistance, information, visuals of other collector's items, and comradery all make Net54 a great place to be a participant. Thank you to all!
