The first Topps set of the 1970’s was the largest to date at 720 cards. Offered here is a really nice complete set of that grey-bordered issue, essentially Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt, with some below and the emphasis to Ex-Mt. The set includes a significant number of sharp Nr-Mt cards and presents in an attractive and uniform fashion. This is a real opportunity to pick up a nice condition version of an important vintage Topps issue. The two missing cards are No. 516 and No. 715.
