If you eliminate all the boring close-up shots of the players (and especially the ones where they're hatless) and the complete lack of any sort of creativity with the images, then it all comes down to the Hall of Famers. There is quite a good crop of shots in this set that really look quite magnificent. These are my five favorites. Clemente looks intensely focused, B-Robby (for once!) has a great looking card, Mr. Cub is grinning up a storm, Johnny Bench is part of a great layout and Willie (yes, I know it's just a more close-up version of his 1966 Topps card) just fits in perfectly. For autograph seekers, these cards must have been a godsend. Just beautiful portraits!!
1969.jpg The Popovich and Perranoski are great cards because there are 3-4 distinct variations of each one. Most are just differences in the blacking out of the cap logos, but I love those sorts of things. Ron Santo is here for one reason. Why in heck is he in profile, facing completely sideways, when all of the other All Stars are facing the viewer??? Come on, Topps!!!! 1969b.jpg

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.  Last edited by JollyElm; 03-20-2014 at 07:36 AM. Reason: Whoops!!! Scott beat me to Banks and Bench!!
