1966 Topps Baseball

I decided to fill the only gap between 1965 and 1969 by starting this blog. I didn't collect baseball cards in 1966, but in the 1980s I obtained all the Phillies cards (and a few others) from the 1966 set. Since the fall of of 2008, I have collected over 450 of these cards. I now have 533 of the 598 cards (89%). -- 16-OCT-2009
