1967 Topps Baseball

The 1967 Topps cards were my starting point for baseball card collecting, and I had completed series 1 to 6 in 1967. The 7th series was not sold in my area, but I was able to obtain all but 5 (Seaver, Carew, Robinson, Wills, John) of those cards at card shows in the early 1980s. In my opinion, this is the best looking series issued by Topps. -- 25-SEP-2009
