I've never really been in to trying to complete a full set. I usually collect a player or team instead of needing everything from a particular year. The exception is 1976 Topps Baseball. The first pack of baseball cards I bought was from this set on the night after I went to my first Braves games in 1976.
I'm about 80-100 cards short of complete right now but will finish this at some point. I love this design and the player selection can't be beat with the All-Time All-Stars cards making an affordable way to get some of the all-time greats. That is Aaron's last card and Eckersley's first. I love the stylized player in the corner of each card, with the exception being on the all-star cards (Bench).
It's hard for me to believe that this set came out 41 years ago. Make's me feel older than I actually am (50).

This is a great looking set. It falls somewhere in my Top 10 Topps baseball card designs of all-time.
