The set is extremely undervalued, however I have noticed price increases as of late on ebay. Anybody who says this set isn't rare will have a tough go when putting the HOFers together unless they possess an extensive pocket book.

Fair enough. I don't collect Goudey's, per se, so really didn't know what you meant. Now I know...I have never thought any of the Goudey's particularly rare otherwise, Lajoie notwithstanding.
