I predicted that they would sell for $15K and I was pretty close. Just to put it into perspective. 10+ years ago I thought I paid a fortune for the Tracey card. Immediately after the auction I received an email asking me to sell the card and they had been looking for it for 10 years. Of course now with Ebay in full swing its much easier to complete sets these days - But believe me there are some sets that are really tough to complete and especially those last few.
Here are a few very challenging sets - 1950 Bread for Health, 1926 Shotwell Ad Back 12-card set (now 13 with my most recent discovery), 30's Wheaties with Full Borders. 1969 Eskimo Pie (just ask Mike Blaisdell), 1960 Bell Brand Rams with SP Selawski, 1933 Diamond Matchbook (both colors). 1956 Shredded Wheat CFL (they held back one card for each team so you couldn't get the prize), to name a few.
