Any 1970 Topps fans out there?

Thanks for the replies. I also like the photos and especially the Munson card (nice one Mintacular!). I also think the Reggie Jackson card stands out.

I'm also working on the set in ex condition have about 100 cards with stars. Never collected a older set before so I decided to start with the year I was born. I like the contrast of the grey on colors. Good luck with the set maybe we can trade in the future.

The first packs I ever opened, so a sentimental favorite.
When I got back in the hobby this and '71 were the first sets I completed, and I too was a bit surprised at the cost of the Pilots team, but no card really cost much.

I'm slowly working on a second set in all uncut sheets.

can't collect a set without a pack and box either!

COOL pictures...

I personally love the set, it's also my birth year. My last card was the Bench as I was holding out for a really nice one. The Pilots card cost me as well. I think the photography is excellent and the gray doesn't bore me at all. I remember as a kid getting the Jake Gibbs card, my first ever 70 card, and thinking how COOL it was. As I was collecting the set it was pretty crazy to think some kid was opening these out of packs as I was a newborn...

Agree with Anthony that you need a pack with a set, but you certainly do not need a bulky box

By the way, while 1970 is not one of my favorites in terms of the regular set, for each year I also collect any insert or test sets. For 1970 there were several such sets, the 1970 Candy Lids ( tops to tubs of candy), the 1970 Posters ( pack inserts), the 1970 Scratch offs ( repeated in 1971),1970 Booklets ( pack insert), and the 1970 Supers. Plus, one of the toughest of all unissued test sets,, the enigmatic 1970 Cloth Stickers

Cool stuff Al!

I always enjoy looking at your collection and if you want to adopt me I would appreciate it "dad".

Personally I love this set-it was the first one I collected as a kid and I had a whole slew of 'em back then. When I re-entered in the early 80's it was the first set I started again. A lot of folks dislike the gray fronts but I've always liked it. I also think the back is one of the best Topps ever produced.

I'm right there with you Dave. I was 8 years old in 1970 and those were the first cards I ever saw and I loved them. So when I got back into collecting as an adult it was the first set I completed, and still have it. Under appreciated set in my opinion.

Tigerfred · #12 02-03-2014, 06:35 PM

These were the 1st vintage cards I ever saw (either '75 or 76). My favorite all-time set.

Perhaps someone can help me....I missed out on buying a series 1 uncut sheet @ a show here in NJ several years ago. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Thanx!
