Ah, the Seventies! When players wore long hair and afros, sported mutton chop sideburns,and wore polyester uniforms and stretchy-waist pants.
I was three years old when my Dad starting buying wax packs for the 1974 Topps cards. When I started collecting cards, he gave me his collection, which was rubber-banded together and stored in a cardboard box in the hall closet. The oldest cards were the 1974 Topps. When blogs like
Mark's Ephemera and
Night Owl Cards renewed my interest in the hobby, I sorted those cards into numerical order to see which ones I needed to complete the whole thing. (This will be a side project to my main Cardinal team set collecting.)
I'm still looking through a few boxes of random cards that are jumbled together, but I've come up with a working need list:
(Thank you to
Wrigley Wax for sending 69 cards and Dave Chase for sending 43!!)

They aren't in NM condition, but if you want them, shoot me an email and I'll send them your way.
Wow--thank you so much! Yes, I could definitely use them and condition doesn't matter to me. I'll send you an email.
