I was a kid growing up in the mid '70s living in Philly. My two favorite players in the world were Pete Rose and Thurman Munson. Th e '75 Topps was the very first set I ever collected. I love those colorful borders. The '75 set reminds me of the '63 Corvette split-window. It was the only year that they did these beautiful colors.The cards are crisp and colorful. I remember saving my money for packs of cards. My first holy Communion, birthdays, Christmas. Two pieces of advice that I was given when I first started collecting, never rubber band my cards and to never mark the checklists I'm glad I listened and I still have them to this day And I love them just as much now as I did when I was collecting them as a kid. I collected '75 to '93 Topps and I built sets '71 to '74 in the last five years. Rating: 9 | ||
Could this be the most important set of the decade? Cards have more '3-D' treatment of team names and the best rookie class since 1955. The colors (some are which are hideous) seem to work even though they do not match franchise uniforms depicted. Perhaps this is due to the images being part of my collecting conscious for so long.

I really like this set. They scream 70's, sort of like the 1990 Topps set scream the 90's. I had always wished they released a set during the 80's that incorporated neon in some way... as opposed to that wood paneling set that should have been released during the 70's too. Rating: 8 | ||
