Doug---this is really a great achievement. It's not that hard to build this set but to build it in panels is tough. Congratulations

Great Doug! I have contemplated doing both sets in panels (and the 69's) as they are the only insert sets I have not gone after but so far I just have the albums. How tough was it to find the last few you needed?

Thanx for the kind words, guys.

The last 61 panel I got was last summer.
I actually purchased one of the 62's that I need a couple months ago on ebay, but the seller lost it, so I'm still on the hunt. The one's I'm looking for are few and far between, and the registry sets tend to need the same ones, so if they come up graded, the prices go stupid places (although when I manage to win one, breaking them out with my handy dandy kitchen knife is that much more rewarding).

I use a jewelers screwdriver, the largest flat blade one in the normal set of 6 works quite well on SGC and PSA slabs.
