If you are a vintage baseball collector you cringe at the mere mention of the dreaded 1971 Topps set. The black boarders make this a truely impossible set to find in mint condition. Fear not basketball fans! Topps didn't leave basketball out with their black boarders with a small 46 card set. The cards are stickers that were inserted into packs of 1971-72 Topps. The set actually is mixed with some of the cards having three players (hince "trios"). This is a fun set to collect, but beware of the black boarders! The "A" in the card numbers means that the player is an ABA player.
