Next step in collecting the 1970’s is the 1971’s. I made a tiny little dent on the collection at the last show and was quite pleased with the cards i was able to sift through. I’m quite picky with my cards condition in general, so it’s going to be a test of my patience and ability to look over a few soft corners in order to complete this set. Black border cards are never easy…imean amiright!
So, here’s what i’m dealing with at the moment, again, not too much stuff at this point but certainly will continue to chip through the set over the next few months and see where i end up.
Not a bad group eh? No real stars to name here since these guys all came from the commons box, but there were a couple notable names from this group.
I did get a Cookie, a Cookie Rojas!
When i started going through the box during the show, i had ZERO intentions of starting this set. I wanted to get a little further along with my 60’s needs before i jumped in the 1970 to 1972 sets to bridge the gap from what i’ve already completed. But i saw the Cookie and had to get it since it’s Cookie!!!…and it’s all on the background of Cardboard Junkie…maybe it was a subliminal thing? I’ll get a 70’s baseball card page set up soon, but until then, check out this link for the gaps if you can help out! 1971 Topps Baseball
Side note, i stopped by the card shop this morning after running a few errands and was looking for some Redskins cards and then came across this guy!
That guy has the same last name as me. Riddle! It was cool shiny card that initially caught my eye and upon closer inspection, the name, J.T. Riddle! I’m going to steal a page from Gavin’s collection of Gavin’s and start a Riddle’s collection of Riddle’s!
That’s all i’ve got for the night. Thanks for reading!
My wife and i got tickets to see Ryan Adams later this year at Edgefield…so i’ve been listening to a lot of his older music recently…but here’s something new from Mr. Adams.
