Besides the aesthetic beauty in the black borders, this set teases in-game action shots and horizontal layouts. During the next few years, Topps slowly pulled collectors away from staged shots and portraits and brought us closer into the game. The decade is a turning point in producing sports cards, with some classic issues on the horizon.

These are a solid decade before my time... or even being born. I had always thought they would have looked nicer without the white boarder.

Yep-like some others on here this was the first set I completed. Rough did not begin to describe the condition. Then about 20 years later my Dad surprised me with about 1500 1971 cards he bought from a guy he worked with and handed them to me. Much better condition! Still it's probably and overall VGEX set but one I'd probably never part with.
