  1. Hi Matthew -- I just came across your 1977 (and then your 1978) blog as I was researching for my 1982 Topps blog. I'd appreciate it if you added my blog to your blog roll. It is at 1982topps.blogspot.com. I'm adding yours to my blog roll as well.

    1. Hello Tony - your 1982 blog is a welcome addition to the growing list of set blogs. Eventually I think every year from the 60s - 80s will have its own blog. Keep up the good work! :)
