Gorgeous 1972 Topps complete set. One of the most interesting sets of its era the 1972 issue features a bold design that was reflective of the time with bright full-color photography. The issue is filled with subsets and specialty cards with "in action" photography of the game's biggest stars and a "Boyhood Photos of the Stars" subset that enabled youngsters to imagine what it would look like when they were on a baseball card someday; after all the superstar players looked like normal kids! Presented here is a complete 787-card set with the majority of the cards grading EX/MT or better.
