I have a bunch of scans from the NSCC way back in early August which I have yet to post.
1975 Topps Minis
As with a lot of other vintage collectors I am a sucker for 1975 Topps Minis.
These were a buck a piece which is more then I would typically go for a 75 Mini, but the lot is all Hall of Famers. I have no serious interest in building the whole set, but I have thought of collecting all of the sets HoF cards. The August show was a huge step towards that goal.
Couple of favorites here. The HR League Leaders features two Phillies, Schmidt and Dick Allen who led the AL in 74 while playing w/ the White Sox.
The Mantle - Wills card features a Card that Never Was if my memory is correct. Topps had yet to sign Maury Wills in 1962 and he was never issued a 62 Topps card. For the 1975 MVP series the Topps simply created the card that never really existed.
Very nice minis!
ReplyDeleteOutside of the Sutton and Niekro, I still need all the other minis there.
