A shame @Topps didn't include its usual recap of the previous year's World Series in the 1966 set. Would've included another Koufax card or two. Always wondered about that... — PolitiTweet.org

Just the Koufax base cards. https://t.co/NXGiPYK4p5 — PolitiTweet.org

A different view of the 30 Sandy Koufax @Topps cards. Retired after 1966 but appeared on three 1967 cards as the ‘66 NL leader in wins, Ks & ERA. https://t.co/fQ9KjxPTIm — PolitiTweet.org

Special #YomKippur bar chart of every Sandy Koufax @Topps card. He went full #Leviticus23 & skipped ‘65 World Series opener to observe Day of Atonement. Later won Games 5&7 + series MVP. @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 https://t.co/TMs68je2FH — PolitiTweet.org

@tbart19 Especially later in the season, picked through a lot of rack packs to find the cards I still needed. — PolitiTweet.org

@prescott_greg @SABRbbcards @Topps @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @BigHairPlasGras @70sBaseball Sounds familiar. I think 1977 was highest-volume year for me (at one time I had 2 complete sets and 2-3 near-completes) but 1976 was close. — PolitiTweet.org

@randomroger @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @BigHairPlasGras @70sBaseball I built the whole set from packs as well. Replaced a couple over the years but it’s basically Ford Administration vintage. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@TheGrandOldGame @SABRbbcards @Topps @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @BigHairPlasGras @70sBaseball Agreed. There's a lot of color without going over the top as in 1975. I think this set holds up very well. — PolitiTweet.org

@BtotheMaz @HenryLouisAaron @astros A classic! — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@vossbrink @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @BigHairPlasGras @70sBaseball I recommend it. Great set and I can’t imagine it’s too difficult or costly. — PolitiTweet.org

Supplemental 44-card Traded set features a ‘frotastic Oscar Gamble card. https://t.co/ox8RmtPQ3L — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

Many Hall of Famers in this set, but at the time the #50 Fred Lynn card created the most buzz, at least among my fellow 6th graders. https://t.co/lAxmQeoSGT — PolitiTweet.org

The storied cardboard career of @HenryLouisAaron ends amid the Tequila Sunrise @astros uni, Tug McGraw’s white cleats & the Kurt Bevacqua bubble gum blowing champ card. https://t.co/uneEtPzv8Z — PolitiTweet.org

Carpet o’ Cards: Underappreciated 1976 @Topps set lacks the marquee rookies & in-your-face color of ‘75, but packs great eye appeal. @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @BigHairPlasGras @70sBaseball https://t.co/5nTGH0hDvI — PolitiTweet.org

@richardtmonroe1 @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 Every Mantle I’ve acquired in last 10 years has a difficult price/condition/eye appeal calculation behind it. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@funkygreens @delspacefranco @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 @CHUCKVANHORNE Great find! And it looks to be in pretty decent shape. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@DoubleB920 @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 Yep. Just carry it around in my hobo bindle. — PolitiTweet.org

@uniformcritic Maybe the only Killebrew pic I’ve seen in which he actually looks young. He appeared middle-aged from the beginning of his MLB career. — PolitiTweet.org

@pete_grunewald @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 Gotta start somewhere! — PolitiTweet.org

@tbart19 Best wishes for the hunt! — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@BrianBrenberg @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 That ‘66 Mantle was acquired as an elementary schooler in 1972. So it’s taken nearly half a century. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@delspacefranco @vossbrink @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 That’s a sweet card in any condition. — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@delspacefranco @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 @CHUCKVANHORNE Imagine if @Topps made leader cards in the ‘50s... https://t.co/OgJ215ICyN — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@vossbrink @delspacefranco @Topps @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 Mantle usually the toughest/costliest card in the set. All mine have flaws. Glad he wasn’t in 1954-55 @Topps sets. — PolitiTweet.org

Carpet o’ Cards: 40 of Mickey Mantle’s 41 @Topps cards. You can’t have everything. @SABRbbcards @nightowlcards @CardboardHistry @VintageCardsOn1 https://t.co/rvdG0UmOi2 — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelTowery @1974Baseball @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @UniWatch @uniformcritic @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @Topps Helms really let his freak flag fly when he left the Big Red Machine. https://t.co/HTRpuYbXgk — PolitiTweet.org

@CardboardHistry @1974Baseball @SABRbbcards @UniWatch @uniformcritic @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @Topps Wow! — PolitiTweet.org

George Bennett @gbennettpost

@PostWarCards Nice version of this card! Probably a called strike -- but not a called strike three, according to my research: https://t.co/JubGTkWTyu — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMal69374410 @1974Baseball @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @UniWatch @uniformcritic @nightowlcards @VintageCardsOn1 @Topps A classic. — PolitiTweet.org

@nightowlcards @Twins @Athletics Just looked it up. Nice. Had forgotten about his '64 card. — PolitiTweet.org
