I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you got a good deal there. :-)
I really do like the look of the set, but my interest was solely in the 3 Braves cards, Torre, Spahn, and Aaron. Had the first two for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger on an Aaron, so my work is done.
As a matter of fact, I love everything Topps did in '64. Base set, Giants, Coins, Venezuelans, etc....
I know, visually, that the '64 set isn't well regarded, but I disagree with the majority. I love the look of that set. When I think about venturing outside of my Braves collecting, I always find myself gravitating to the '64 set. Collecting everything '64.
