While at the National [it's hard to believe that was actually three months ago already] I hit the "90% Off Beckett" bins hard and took a lot of the big cards of my
1971 Topps Needs List from the "needem" to the "gottem" category. I'm now at 87.5% complete!

I was hoping to see a shot of Bob sitting in the stands during Game 7 last night but I never saw him.
 |
| #450 Bob Gibson |
 |
| #640 Frank Robinson |
I was most excited to find this card at a really great deal and as you can tell from the scan it is in by far the best condition of all the '71 Topps cards I bought at the National.

| #550 Harmon Killebrew |
In terms of scarcity, this seemed to be the hardest card to find of this group. As this was a Hall of Fame manager and also a short print it was also the card I spent the most on: $6.00.
 |
| #688 Sparky Anderson |
With the addition of this card I now have cards 1-399 with card #400 being Hank Aaron.
 |
| #341 Steve Garvey |
And here are a few non-star players that I picked up including two high-numbered short-prints.

| #556 Jim McGlothlin |
 |
| #710 Sonny Siebert |

| #639 Tom Haller |
