New Collecting Goal: Houston Astros Topps Team Base Sets

Looking over a few blogs and browsing through my favorite message board, I had begun noticing team collectors who had a major focus on completing the complete run of Topps base cards for their teams.

With the sheer amount of base cards I have, I figured i would be able to get a jumpstart on most years, making it a little bit more plausible for me to finish within a decent amount of time (except I would have new cards every year to add to the collection).

The only thing I will not be doing for these cards is buying the whole sets. I am going to try and trade for every card I need, unless the card is in any type of lot I buy from here on out.

Without further ado, here are the cards I need (that I have noticed so far) from 1965 - 1999 (I haven't sorted from 2000 forward yet, that will happen later this week):
