Actually, I don't like this set as much...Erik,<br /><br />Actually, I don't like this set as much as the sets from 1965-69 (even the '68 set!). I collected it for several reasons, none of which were style-related:<br /><br />1. Continuity:<br />I already had the 1967-69, and 1972 sets, and was about 100 cards into the 1970 set (from back in the day) when I decided to collect the entire set about a year ago.<br /><br />2. Some new players:<br />With expansion in 1969, this 1970 set presents a batch of previously unseen players, AND, there's minimal airbrushed/hatless photos, compared to the 1969 set.<br /><br />After reading #1 above, let me answer the next question. No, I won't be collecting the 1971 set. I don't like the backs at all: Green on green color scheme, and stats minimized to 2 lines (previous year, and career totals) to make room for the ridiculous 2nd photo on the back.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571973592876362453.post-86999862326732103072010-12-02T11:38:52.525-05:002010-12-02T11:38:52.525-05:00Dumb question Jim, but do you really like the look...Dumb question Jim, but do you really like the look of this set?<br /><br />After some really beauties in the 1960's I thought Topps started off the 70's in a rather dull fashion with this set.<br /><br />The only thing I liked from this set were the All Star cards.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885170314284340429noreply@blogger.com
