Since joining OBC I've been finding cards in better shape than I started with due to the help of other OBC members and some outside purchases. Please look at the condition requests after each year. I know that I'll have to except the Mantles; 68, 69 Ryan and 68 Bench in lesser condition due to budget constraints.
1969 Topps Baseball Want List Condition Requested- commons- very good to very good/excellent (no creases or damage); lesser stars- good to very good; major stars- fair to good (No major creases, writing, rips, tape, extreme surface wear)
Numbers with parenthsis (00) for each year indicate that the card has been purchased, but hasn't arrived to my home as of yet.
These are all of the cards that I am missing- commons and stars alike:

For trade:
I don't have much in terms of variety, I have extra Topps Baseball cards from 1970-75. My main group is 1971 where I currently have (526 singles); 1972 (259 singles); and 1973 Topps (325 singles) that I want to offer as starter sets- all include stars, semi-high, and high numbers.
I also have lots of Topps Baseball singles for 1970 (105 cards, with a few semi high and high numbers); 1974 Topps Baseball (240 regular, 23 Traded and 22 Unmarked checklists; and 1975 Topps Baseball (198 singles). All of these lots do have stars, but there are no cards of Ryan, Brett, or Yount included. They are mostly in VG/EX to ex-mint condition with centering and light corner wear being their only "defects." Here are some lists of the cards that I have available:
