a.) I will accept ANY card in ANY condition in these sets. 
b.) **    Upgrade!  I already have the card, likely want a better picture and better centering.  Check with me.

???  'a' and 'b' are oxymorons, yes?

All of these are WANTS !!!

**** uh oh, I have over three "back pocket" cards from this '73, "stick figure" set.  ...does that mean I am now collecting an entire, complete, back pocket set ???   ...it's a perfect set to do it with; I never liked those silly "stick figures" anyway.  ...dunno why Topps couldn't have just added a close up or a mug shot instead... ...

   I guess my 'back pocket'  condition is also called a "Beater."   ... I definitely remember carrying several of my favorite cards around in my back pocket of my jeans so I would have them handy to show to friends.  I was creating beaters.  My favorites were in one pocket; the cards I wanted to trade or flip away were in the other.  The only time they left my 'cheeks' was when Mom grabbed the jeans and tossed them into the laundry.  The cards stayed in the pockets.  Try doing that with today's plastic coated, UV, sunglasses cards.  They would probably just MELT, and certainly could never stand up to that abuse.
    Thanks for reading and letting me vent.  Now, let's get back to the cardboard !!
