1976 Topps baseball card base set is now complete with these 4 additions. Now onto the 1976 “Traded” set. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @spoart.bsky.social @gritz.bsky.social @nightowlcardz.bsky.social
As a kid I stopped buying packs after the 1968 season so I have hard time accepting that 7 of these gentlemen ever played a single game for the team designated on their 1976 card. As a Red Sox fan I wish Bucky never got traded to the Yankees. #cardsky @heavyjstudios.bsky.social
Thank you @spoart.bsky.social for your help with my 1967 Topps set build. #cardsky
Second annual mini reunion with some of my old high school buddies yesterday at Polar Park was a blast. We sat in the Club section. A perfect day at the perfect park! @janetmariesmith.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @SplitSeason1981.bsky.social
Over the last week some more 1967 commons arrived in the mail. These were all eBay purchases. Only 9 cards to go on the road to 533. #cardsky #Topps1967 @gritz.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social
Both cards arrived in the mail today. These purchases were a direct result of listening to the recent Love of the Game podcast with HeavyJ. #cardsky @splitseason1981.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social
Picked up some 1967 Topps a few weeks ago at LCS. Most were low cost commons. Only 32 cards needed to complete the chase to 533 cards. No 7th Series for me. @gritz.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social #cardsky #1967Topps
1966 Topps set in now complete with these 2 pick ups at a major show in my area. #cardsky #1966Topps @splitseason1981.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social
Closing in on a complete 1966 set with this new arrival. Just 2 card to go. #cardsky #1966Topps
Noticed last night that the back of Ruben’s 1967 card has stats from some of his time in Cuba and Mexico. Do any other US issued Topps cards have stats from Cuba or Mexico? #cardsky @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social
These 6 cards arrived today. Making some good progress on 1967 set chase. #cardsky #1967Topps @splitseason1981.bsky.social
Great mail day. Added quite a few 1967 cards to the collection. Vast majority were low cost commons that were in nice shape. #cardsky #1967Topps
Picked these up at LCS last weekend. Well over 100 tables at the show and could only find 6 dealers selling vintage cards. #cardsky @nightowlcardz.bsky.social
These 2 high numbers arrived today. Only 3 cards to go for a complete set. #cardsky #1966Topps @splitseason1981.bsky.social
I had the good fortunate to briefly meet Maz a few times. Gave him a box of cigars at Pirate Fest in 2015 and met him at Fantasy Camps in Bradenton, FL. I hope he is enjoying a Macanudo in heaven. RIP. #cardsky @mattmillerpgh.bsky.social @johnpheinen.bsky.social
A diversion from my 1966 set build and 1967 chase. My first eBay Authenticity Guarantee purchase. I feel the 1960 does not get the appreciation it deserves. #cardsky #1960Topps
Three high numbers (two are short prints) for the 1966 set build to end 2025. Six high numbers to go for a complete set. #cardsky #1966Topps
Last HOFamer needed for my 1966 Topps set build arrived yesterday. #cardsky #1966Topps
