64 was my first year of buying cards and I went in whole hog. Mantle was in the first series and I wound up with 20 of everybody before completing it. The two cards I could never get in the set were Pete Rose and Willie Mays. My next door neighbor was a Giant and Mays fan and he had the only Mays in town. He wouldn't part with it for ANYTHING! Took me 5 years to get it from him and by then it was a little beat up. That card is in my collection to this day. It meant too much to me to upgrade. I just had an idea though. I think I will upgrade and send it back to my old buddy who lives 1000 miles away now. He probably still regrets giving that card up.
