Finally finished this set after many on-and-off years. Got down to the Mantle, but just couldn't drop the $$ on a really nice one. Finally found one on the 'bay with decent centering at an affordable price. Next up is the 1971-72 basketball set, love those colors, fonts, and backwards jerseys.

Congrats! I'm currently working on this set as well. I am fortunate enough to have the Mantle already thanks to a generous fellow board member and good friend campyfan39. (Hi Chris). I've also gotten some help on the set from a couple other members. Down to 9 left with Spahn and Snider being the biggest two.
I love this set. The colors, design, card size as well as on 33 in the set with 11 of them HOFers. Can't think of any other vintage set with a 1/3 HOF ratio.
Really nice Mantle pick up. They are hard to find in nice shape without going through the roof. Great color, registration and centering.
Very nicely done.

Congratulations! I love the Red Hearts, plenty of star power and not too many cards. Very under-rated set imo.

Always a great feeling to finish one and start planning the next. Congratulations Tom and good luck on the basketball set. My only basketball set is the 61 Fleer
Congratulations on completing the set. I love the design of the Red Heart set.
