This set is filled with rarities and tough cards (well beyond Lewis and Lowdermilk) and is a real challenge to complete. The last time a full set was offered at auction was at Sothebys about 2 years ago and the buyer did very well breaking it up. When tough ones show up on eBay, they are unbelievably competitive. The REA lot, while short of a full set, was mixed condition and did contain many of the tougher cards.

I have had a set for years, but it is lower grade. I decided to put together another set about three years ago, card by card, in mid grade and centering around a Nr Mt Cicotte I bought at the first National. I am still 20 cards short. Where are all these ugly, undesirable cards hiding?

And the Cicotte turned out to be trimmed...Had to buy another one.
