Did you accomplish your 2024 Collecting goals??.For me it was more of a shift from ultra modern to Vintage. I still buy modern, but not nearly as much as I did the past few years.

Yaz Card(s) of the Day.1975 Topps . I feel the 1975 Topps set needs no introduction. One of the more colorful and popular sets from the 70’s. 1975 Topps also replicated the set with a mini version which you see here.

Yaz Card of the Day:.1962 Topps. This was Yaz’s 3rd base card with Topps and was featured in the high series. This is one of my personal favorites given the wood grain borders just like 1987 Topps which is my all time favorite design.

Yaz Card of the Day:.1977 Topps Turn Back the Clock. Most collectors remember or are familiar with the late 80’s Topps Turn Back the Clock series which was part of the base set. But not everyone realizes that 1977 was the first and only year in then 70’s that these were made.

I’m starting a new “1000 additional Follower’s” challenge by reposting this post 😉😂👍.
How does someone get thousands of followers by seemingly only reposting other peoples stuff? I clicked on an account I was interested in following and scrolled way down the page and almost zero original posts. It’s not the type of reposting @CardPurchaser does either. 🤷🏼♂️.
