5 in a row

I've been knocking out the posts this week. Here I thought next week I would be knocking them out since I'm having surgery on Monday and will be home for the next 2 weeks. This will be my 5th day in a row posting. I must be sick.

As you can tell from above, today's is the 1980 Topps set. These also all came from the Facebook purchase that Dennis hooked me up with. Really like the Quisenberry rookie and the Astros jerseys (even if everybody is hating on them these days.) You also get the Niekro brothers in a post.

This is just a sampling of the 122 cards that I received for this set. It now has 311 cards for just under 43% complete.

Over half way there

I mentioned that I got some cards off of Facebook via Dennis. These are the highlights of the 35 1979 cards.

I don't want to say that I grabbed players to show that I knew because I know of most of the players, if from cards alone. I grabbed players that I was more familiar with, I guess that sounds right.

These 35 cards put the 1979 cards at 404 which is good for 53% completed. That's further along than I realized that set was. That 35 also put it over halfway for the set.
