Are you going after a set, master set, team set, etc? It is a fun set to collect. Some very rare cards are found in the Series that the hobby gives very little love to. Finding a Series of 80 Alexander Gaston will be nearly impossible as I own the only one that's I have ever herd of (other than the fact it was on Lew Lipset's checklist in the 1980's but it's existence was unconfirmed until recently.)

Interesting information, Rhett. And thank you for sharing. I sent you a PM re: the font on the front of the card as well. As for me, I am just starting out on this set, and I don't really know where I am going with it. For now, it's the journey rather than the destination. Will let you know when/if I decide where I am going.
