Any interest in “stocking stuffer” of 100 Topps cards (all diff.) from 1978-80? Many available. Some stars. I just need $7 to cover box and postage. I pick cards (too much work otherwise, sorry) though I will listen to “my son loves the Yankees”. (Someone sent me huge box 20 years ago.) DM me.

Over the next week I’m planning to sell 6 football sets on eBay. 1968-1973. If interested let me know. I will determine eBay price (based on recent sales), but $50 discount here. I listed 1972 (EX, series 1+2) for $400.

(I tried to get credit from my son, but he said “you have football cards?”)
