1971 Topps Football - anyone else collecting this set?

[familytoad]

Dang that field marker was the WORST thing to find in a pack back in the day!

I love that sheet, THANKS for sharing. As of yet , I don’t have the same obsession for the game cards and posters that I do for the regular sets but I have a few sets. Probably have a dozen extra field markers too LOL.

I know this part is changing the subject of the game card sheet, but since I’m posting anyway…
Update on my 1971 Topps Football set collection:
I collated another 9 partial sets earlier this week.
I have 47 sets underway, 31 complete. And thousands of more cards towards set numbers 48+.
I’m always looking for more. Hit me up if you have any that you have tired of…

9 more sets complete in just one week? Wow. I have ~2,500 or so cards picking up every affordable one I see of my favored guys, but you make my stack look like nada .

Greg …that’s 9 partial sets this week. Collated from a monster box full that I just didn’t have time nor card supplies for previously.

I’ve only got 31 Bradshaw cards. So that is how many are full sets. I still need some more Sayers/Namath/Greene cards to get farther along too.

It may be a sickness. Glad I’m not the only one…
Excuse me while I head over to eBay and look for large lots (again)

That is one amazing hoard. Bradshaw is what keeps me from doing what you’re doing at a lower level. I pick up large common lots when I see them at my price point, and then pick up a bunch of the lower stars I like. It’s not hard to get Brodie, Maynard, Alworth, Bell, Blanda, etc. for $1-$2 for a 3-5 grade card. Butkus and Unitas is only a little more. I think I have the most copies of Brodie. I think Greene and Bradshaw are the only cards I still have just 1 of. Never get tired of this set. I’ve started trying to do a 263 card set of miscuts (has to shown part of another cards photo or text at minimum, the more miscut the better) that should occupy me for a long time.

I’ve actually just started pulling out the severe miscuts into a separate pile with the notion of doing exactly what you are suggesting!
How cool is that!

I also only count a MC if it’s pretty serious, enough to recognize the other card.
We are aligned in our ways. I don’t have many miscuts yet but it sounds like a cool diversion while gathering over 100 Jim Butler cards…

I have other ideas on how to expand subsets of this awesome set.
I’ll post them at some point but not tonight 😂

Great minds think alike! I’d love to see your best (worst?) of the miscuts. I’m trying to find a Bradshaw early on.
