I am really hoping to finish off the 1973 Topps set sometime this year. The one dilemma I will have once that is complete is which set to focus on next, 1971 or 1972. I have want lists up for both but they are huge. I am going to need to formulate a plan on how to get some bulk lots I need cheap but I am getting ahead of myself.
I recently picked up 2 more 1973 cards I needed, both high numbers.
This is the second to the last Rookie card I need with just the big one waiting in the wings. Not any huge names here with Mike Garman having the longest career of the trio.
I also picked up former Giant Felipe Alou. This card was tough to track down at a reasonable price, I wonder if there is a premium because he is a Yankee. This is one of his last Topps cards in his career with only a 1974 and 1974 Traded cards after.
I am down to needing 4 cards, a Red Sox team card, 2 Checklists and the Mike Schmidt rookie card. I probably shouldn't be but I have been surprised how much the Checklist cards are selling for unmarked. I am not looking for mint condition but an unmarked is a plus. My plan is to know off the 3 non-Schmidt cards then set up an eBay search with notifications to go full fledged for the final card. With us not being at the half way mark of the year, I should be able to finish this one off but I just can't lose focus.
