Its a great glog and my favorite set of all time ( STILL IS ) and collected this as a kid. I was 13 at the time and after collecting the 68, 69, and 70, to me 71 hit the ultimate Jackpot . No question plus had other sets to boot. The 71 Supers, 71 Scratch Off and 71 coins. It was the motherlode for a kid. I have less than 70 to fill by book and of course, all high numbers. Again, a great blog and sorry to see it end.

I began reading this blog shortly after its inception, when I began collecting the '71 set. This was my favorite set as a kid. For me, it just had a "wow" factor unmatched by any other. Your insights and perspective on these cards has certainly added to my enjoyment of this set.wxbucsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711865430801071998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72805078553416215.post-22300381197619322442018-02-14T22:16:08.693-05:002018-02-14T22:16:08.693-05:00I wasn’t even born yet, but this is still one of m...I wasn’t even born yet, but this is still one of my favorite sets across all sports. As a teenager in the early to mid-1990s (pre-interwebz), I was trying to put the set together. Unfortunately at some point in college I needed the money and sold off what I had. Perhaps someday I will start putting it together again.

The 1971 Topps set was my first and I have all the same memories of opening new packs as an 11 year old kid. This blog motivated me to begin building my own set, and I'm getting there but long way to go. Oh well, the longer it takes the longer the fun lasts. <br />Am sad to see the '71 blog come to an end. Hope you will do more in the future, you have a knack for this, very well done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028903161752667321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72805078553416215.post-27529642755751827502018-02-13T11:54:22.187-05:002018-02-13T11:54:22.187-05:00This is one of the most impressive set based blogs...This is one of the most impressive set based blogs of one of the more daunting sets to collect.

I don’t remember how I found it, but once I did, I was hooked. 1971 was my second year of collecting, and this blog brought back all great memories, almost to the point of being able to feel the excitement of once again holding an unopened pack of ‘71s from Paula’s Luncheonette on Union Turnpike in Queens, NY. I’ve looked forward to every post here, and I’m sad to see such a good thing come to its inevitable end. 752 cards wasn’t enough!Thesarge45https://www.blogger.com/profile/00921914976111128972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72805078553416215.post-38355598147541357732018-02-13T08:14:51.209-05:002018-02-13T08:14:51.209-05:00Enjoyed this immensely.
