Hi Justin, good luck with your quest. There are 180 cards in this set, and there are only 89 different cards that have been graded as an SGC 40. In fact, there are only 101 different cards that have been graded in total by SGC, and far less by PSA.

It should be fun but it will take you a while. You may have to buy some raw cards and send them in and hope they will get a 40. If I run across anyone who has one I will send them your way. https://www.gfg.com/baseball/coupon.shtml has a few. (Daves Vintage Cards)

Rick,
Thanks for the heads up. I knew that these were harder to find, but I had no idea that there were so few graded at my target grade. I'll have to rethink my strategy for building this set.

I didn't know SGC only graded 101 Coupon 1s. I own 31 of those and none are graded SGC 40.

This set is plagued by cracking due to the shellack like surface, so very few are graded at vg or above.

You will be able to get more than half the set (100 to 120 cards)and then it will get difficult. The next 30 to 40 cards are very tough. Then the hard part comes. The last dozen or so are next to impossible.

Andy worked on this set for more than 10 years and still had a 6 or 8 card want list. I think finally this past year he sold them off.

Coupons, all three types are extremely difficult sets to complete and maybe impossible now. I have heard of complete sets of type 1 and type 3 but maybe only 1 complete type 2 set. Try to get in touch with Andy, his 54 user is t213. He will be able to give you the most solid info.

Thank you for providing more insight. It sounds like going after this set might get pretty frustrating.

that is a typo when I say 101 graded type 1s, that is supposed to be type 2s.

anyway good luck collecting this set and I do have about 18 or 20 low graded examples that I woul dpart with but they may be too low grade than what you are looking for
