1967 - The long journey to 609
Hello all,
After a 30+ year slog, I recently finished my 1967 set. I started out in the early 80's with one card, #600 Brooks Robinson (not sure how it was just that card), and then saw an article in BHN about how nice the set was, so I decided to work on it. I bought some common lots, made some trades through the mail, and bought a few at local shows, but it was very slow going. I got the Mantle about a year and a half ago to fill out 1 - 533, but still only had a few of the high numbers. I picked up a few here and there, but it seemed like I was never going to make it. Then, a few tremendous members here helped me out big time! I need to thank: Robert (rsdill2) - 3 cards Pat (mintacular) - 4 cards Todd (bbcard1) - 29 cards Long story short, this summer, I found myself needing just one card. You guessed it, Mr. Seaver. Well, after losing tons of auctions, and striking out on the BST, lady luck finally looked my way. Seaver67.jpg It was a great feeling to get that package and finally put this one to bed. I just want to say, this board, and it's members are great. The wealth of information that I found on here regarding the high numbers in this set was a tremendous help.
