That is a good goal. In a few months I should have enough in the change jar for a ‘67 Juan Pizarro.

The 1967 Topps set chase to #533 is now over with these two additions. I have a few 7th series cards but will never have the full set. @spoart.bsky.social @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @gritz.bsky.social @nightowlcardz.bsky.social #cardsky

Paid $1.60 for it. That is above the average price for a common ‘76 card.

Focus on baseball cards from 1960 to 1976. Currently working on ‘70, ‘72, and ‘74 sets. Main player collection is Frank Thomas “The Original One” 1951-1966.

Question - When putting together a set is it OK to have a mix of Topps and OPC? @sabrbbcards.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @vossbrink.bsky.social @spoart.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @gritz.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social @nightowlcardz.bsky.social #cardsky

The Red Sox called up Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, and Allen Stone to play in the outfield at Fenway last night. Each one knocked it out of the park. #cardsky

As a kid I stopped buying packs after the 1968 season so I have hard time accepting that 7 of these gentlemen ever played a single game for the team designated on their 1976 card. As a Red Sox fan I wish Bucky never got traded to the Yankees. #cardsky @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

Second annual mini reunion with some of my old high school buddies yesterday at Polar Park was a blast. We sat in the Club section. A perfect day at the perfect park! @janetmariesmith.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @markhoyle4.bsky.social @SplitSeason1981.bsky.social

Over the last week some more 1967 commons arrived in the mail. These were all eBay purchases. Only 9 cards to go on the road to 533. #cardsky #Topps1967 @gritz.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

Prices probably jumped 10% after that episode.

Mike Kane @mkane-sabr.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
Both cards arrived in the mail today. These purchases were a direct result of listening to the recent Love of the Game podcast with HeavyJ. #cardsky @splitseason1981.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

Picked up some 1967 Topps a few weeks ago at LCS. Most were low cost commons. Only 32 cards needed to complete the chase to 533 cards. No 7th Series for me. @gritz.bsky.social @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social #cardsky #1967Topps

Thank you! You are correct. It is not an easy set to complete due to the high numbers and short prints.

We don’t need this at Fenway. We need Gulden’s mustard and relish packets.

Noticed last night that the back of Ruben’s 1967 card has stats from some of his time in Cuba and Mexico. Do any other US issued Topps cards have stats from Cuba or Mexico? #cardsky @heavyjstudios.bsky.social @adarowski.bsky.social @splitseason1981.bsky.social @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social

Sox never should have tried to turn him into a starting pitcher.

Looks like it was taken during the same day that the 1973 Topps Mays photo was taken.

Great mail day. Added quite a few 1967 cards to the collection. Vast majority were low cost commons that were in nice shape. #cardsky #1967Topps

I had the good fortunate to briefly meet Maz a few times. Gave him a box of cigars at Pirate Fest in 2015 and met him at Fantasy Camps in Bradenton, FL. I hope he is enjoying a Macanudo in heaven. RIP. #cardsky @mattmillerpgh.bsky.social @johnpheinen.bsky.social

I finished my 61 set last year. It was an on and off pursuit that took 30 years. Hope you finish it.
