Showing of my recently completed 1960 Topps Rookies Star subset

[cadets68]

I really like this subset from the 1960 Topps set. I just picked up the final 3 cards this weekend. A total of 32 cards. The 1960 set is not as loved as the 59 or 61, but for some reason I like the horizontal pics that year.

The big Rookies here are:
Frank Howard $25
Jim Kaat $40
Carl Yastrzemski $200

Nice cards!! I need the Howard and Kaat for my 1960 Topps set.

Very nice, and for the most part the cards are in very solid shape How long did it take you to finish it off?

I bought the Yaz in 1992 to start the whole thing. Then I left it sit for 15 years. Worked on it in 2007 till I was half way. Got back to work on it this summer. Finished it Sunday.

I am putting together the whole set, and am about 30% complete. Mostly ex or better. But a few that are worse.

I am working on tons of sets all the time, so I come and go with where my efforts are. This summer I finished off my nemesis when I got the last 2002 Bowman chrome card that I needed. With 173 short print rookies, that set took lots of time and $.

Love the vintage sets. Trying to build all Topps since 1959.

Thanks for looking.

I am trying to build the Topps sets from 1959 to the present also. Only need a couple of cards for the 1973 and 1975 sets but the 1972 high numbers are being a killer for me. The high series are a challenge for all the earlier Topps stuff.
