Mike D's 1975 Topps Binder Project

[Mike D.]

With the 1977 Topps Binder Project coming to an end, it was time to start a new binder project - the 1975 Topps set!

To review:

What is a binder set? It's got non-high end, non-graded cards, perfect for flipping through without risking any major investments.

To add to the fun, I'll likely pick up graded copies of some of the more interesting stars from the set. If I get a graded copy of a card, I'll still get a non-graded for the binder, but may allow for lower grade there to help keep costs in check.

Depending on what I get for duplicates, I may even dabble in some TTM autograph chasing.

The 1975 Topps set consists of 660 cards. Here is the checklist.

This set is significantly more expensive than either the 1976 or 1977 Topps sets, led by the RC's of hall of famers George Brett and Robin Yount. Other key cards include several Nolan Ryan and Hank Aaron examples.

So, this one may take a while...but it should be another fun project.

Unlike prior projects, where I started with large mixed lots purchased either here or on eBay, this project starts with one lot, bought from a site member.

Roughly 365 cards (55.3% of the set), all different, from the 1975 set that are in GREAT condition. These are almost all commons, with the best card being a Rod Carew card.

Paid $105.00 delivered for the lot, which feels like a nice deal and a nice start!

Total spent on binder set: $105.00
Total Reclaimed: $0.00
Total Spent on Graded: $0.00

The above list shows the existing PSA graded cards I had at the start of this project. Not a bad little start!

Enjoyed following your other '77 set, and I'm looking forward to this one as well. Good luck with it.
