I love this set also! Your Brett is not bad...many of them are diamond cuts or really tilted...

Thanks everyone for the stories and encouragement!

I very much expect this still start as a sprint and end up as a crawl.

I'm chomping at the bit to get started sorting...waiting for the last lot to come in...but SO tempting.

I have been collecting mostly graded cards the last few years, with the exception of buying some junk era wax for fun (which I chronicled on another board)...but I miss the feel of old cardboard, the collection you can flip through, and not having to worry TOO much about condition.

Bad news - the 3rd lot I bought is late. Was supposed to be here yesterday, but judging by where it's, maybe Tuesday after the holiday.

Good news - I picked up another lot of 200 1976 Topps cards from board member mintacular - and they should ship out Tuesday.

So next week will be a good week at the mailbox for this project.

In the meantime, I may start sorting what I have a bit...I'm getting impatient.

Not that you need my approval, but I like what you are doing. I was born in 1973. After many years of collecting other eras, I am coming back to these. There's a lot of nice, affordable stuff from late 60s to mid 80s...baseball and football. I have a 1976 baseball set from past collecting efforts. I am starting this run with a '71 set. I have about 100 cards so far. It will be fun!

I started collecting in 1987, but pretty quickly locked in on 70's and 80's era HOFers as a favorite. I've since branched into the 60's and dabbled in the 50's, but the 70's-80's does hold a special place in my collecting world.

I have been collecting since 1978. My goal is to collect every set from 1953-1983. I am like today's starting pitchers. I haven't completed anything. At my current pace I will finish in the year 2197. I think I'm going to run out of time.

I've put together all the '70s sets. Started with the '75's (regular and mini) and had a great time with it, all are in binders. Lots of childhood memories from that era. The last '70's set I completed was the '72 set. Not sure if it was the size of the set or just needing a change, but I definitely had set building fatigue by the time I finished that one!

Good luck, its fun to follow your progress.
