Completely Red: 1975 Topps Mini

Oh man. I've been sitting one card short of this team set for a long time. Tons of high-demand cards in this set, as 1975 was peak Big Red Machine time (World Series wins in '75 and '76). Plus it's the frickin sweet '75 Topps set in frickin sweet miniature form. Universally loved.

Among the 33 cards with a Red, there's four(!) Johnny Bench cards, two Pete Roses, Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion, Ken Griffey, Joe Morgan, George Foster, Sparky Anderson, Frank Robinson, and a sneaky Ed Armbrister tagging along with Fred Lynn's RC. The final addition was the Pete Rose base. I found a beat-up-but-not-too-much copy on COMC for $2.75. No-brainer.

1975 Topps Mini door officially closed. Go Reds.
