1975 Topps

The 1975 Topps set is one of the more intriguing sets of the decade. With a great selection of star rookies and a very colorful design, this set is familiar to most collectors. George Brett and Robin Yount rookie cards, both players recent additions to the Hall of Fame, highlight the set, but that's not all. Gary Carter, a Hall of Famer also has a rookie card in the set. In addition, Jim Rice, a borderline candidate and potential Veteran's Committee selection has a rookie card as well. Throw in a couple of other star rookie cards, such as Fred Lynn and Keith Hernandez, and you have one of the most power packed rookie card lineups ever. Another great aspect to this set is the inclusion of the MVP cards; these cards feature great duos like Mantle and Aaron. Early cards of Ryan, Schmidt, Rose, and Winfield are nice features as well as Harmon Killebrew's last card. Hank Aaron rounds out the set at #660, which is a very desirable card. Beware of poor centering and chipping along the multicolored edges, these cards can be tough. To read an in-depth article on this set, click here.
