It's my son Doug's all-time favorite Topps design, and I quickly realized that's the first set he ever collected and the first design he remembers opening from packs as a 9-year-old. He feels about those cards the same way you and I feel about the Topps cards from the mid to late '70s. <br /><br />He was upset I had only ranked it #5 in my poll and I think the only reason it scores that high for me is that I clearly remember the design from opening packs with him. If not for that, it would have fallen further in the rankings.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-71253363350454764782020-02-08T19:44:09.948-05:002020-02-08T19:44:09.948-05:00The horizontal cards are the only decent-looking c...The horizontal cards are the only decent-looking cards in the set.<br /><br />Not one of Topps' better efforts and I knew it when I first saw the design last summer. But it's definitely better than those 2016/17 atrocities.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-60806877213908581662020-02-08T18:35:10.418-05:002020-02-08T18:35:10.418-05:00I only collect pre-1974 cards, so the only real co...I only collect pre-1974 cards, so the only real complaint I have about Topps is their poor airbrushing.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
