Since I got them all from forum members I just bought/traded for any I could find when I could find them. For me condition did not matter so there is everything from near mint to my Mantle that has a chunk the size of a 50 cent piece missing out of the back.
The Ernie Banks(2nd to last card) was the hard one for me but umpire Frank Dascoli was my last card.
I never kept track of prices but i know it would have been way cheaper to just buy a complete set. Most of the extra $ came from all the shipping charges.
