Another drubbing

Week 5 of the first round of the "What's Next?" tournament has come to a close, and another large defeat goes in the books.


'76 Topps moves on to the elite 8 with a convincing 16-4 win over 1970 Topps.  I had a feeling that '76 would win, but not this handily.  It also is tied for the 2nd most votes received, only trailing the '65 set.

The tournament page has been updated for your viewing pleasure, and tomorrow starts the 6th match of the tournament, with the widest gap in terms of age being featured.  '60 Topps vs '79 Topps could be another blowout, but as I've learned over the first few weeks, you just never know what people like!

What I really do appreciate so far in this tournament is the comments; many of you have been very descriptive in what you like and don't like about a lot of the sets.  That has made this tournament even more enjoyable for me, and I hope that everyone continues on this path.

thanks for reading, Robert

  1. I just went back to the first tournament post to see how it was seeded, and I forgot that the whole point of this was to determine which set you should collect next. Now that I remember that, I would've still voted the same way, but you may want to periodically remind everybody of why we're doing this... well, other than it's a lot of fun. ;-D

  3. I didn't think 70 would win. But I thought it would get a little more support
