I am really baffled by the consistent appearance of the 1971 Topps set on this list. Only recently have I begun 'liking' these cards, and that's simply because when housed in TPG holders, there's no worry about them turning white right before your very eyes. 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.
