This is the year we're supposed to be saluting the 1975 Topps mini. It was 40 years ago that one of the first parallel sets ever was released. I have done a couple of special '75 mini posts in the past year. But I don't need an anniversary to talk about my favorite set of all-time. I hope I will always have things to say about the card set from my childhood that is now iconic. So here is one more tribute to that 40-year-old set, featuring one more self-tribute from Topps. As you probably know, Topps recently released an online exclusive of its 2015 flagship set in mini form. You fork over 100 bucks and you get every card from flagship in mini form, plus 10 extra cards of current players on the 1975 mini design. Mini fan that I am, there is still no way I'm paying $100 for a parallel set, just for 10 cards on my favorite design. Fortunately, I was able to get the cards I wanted without doing that. My good friend R.C. decided to purchase the full set online...
