An inviting Topps complete set “hat trick” here, with barely a crease detected throughout and dozens and dozens of crisp/clean cards. Centering comes into play in the (132-card) 1971-72 set, with most star card images right of center. Mostly EX-MT to NM-MT and averaging NM, with Dryden RC otherwise EX-MT, Orr and Howe o/w NM and the unmarked checklist EX-MT (OC). Increasing to 176 cards and featuring some swell/different poses than its O-Pee-Chee counterpart is the '72-73 issue, with 100-Orr leading the NM-MT highlights and a similar overall assessment; a NM average. A NM (OC) unmarked checklist and background color issues with 79-Lafleur are noteworthy. Additional border colors (to those of OPCs) and a 198-card effort came in '73-74, with the assembly here elevating to a NM+ average thanks to numerous pack-fresh Mint representatives. Billy Smith RC is NM-MT, 10-Dryden NM (OC) and 150-Orr miscut (o/w NM-MT+). A NM (OC) checklist and an abundance of beauties await.
