Yes...I just checked my Kent card #102 in my set...haha...nope, I don't have it. Al is the best...



I finished my second 1960 set a couple months ago, I really do love it. I love the back of the manager cards, they really have that vintage historic look to them and a link to early 50's issues. The high numbers aren't cheap, but not break the bank like later 60's sets. The All Stars are tough, and super cool looking, with the Mays AS card my favorite.

In hand a 1960 card has a unique feel to me, the card stock is not like any other. I am probably wrong on that, but that's what I feel, so I am guessing in hand a reprint would be easy to detect. You can buy graded at any condition for the stars if you are too worried about it. I did for Clemente and Mantle, and promptly freed them. There are a lot of pressed, trimmed, ect cards in raw out there for those two, especially Mantle.


Good luck in your quest!
