Default Notoriously Tough PostWar HOFer Cards

Love to discuss cards that are routinely tough to find with much eye appeal. Over the years I've found these to be very hard, based on who/what I collect. Will limit my list to 15...

1. 51 Mantle (so few offered with solid centering)
2. 52 Mantle (same; it seems the ones for sale in lower grade are all rough)
3. 57 Mantle (centering, centering, centering)
4. 1964 Pete Rose (print issues and centering)
5. 1976 Brett (centering, print smudges)
6. 1978 Eddie Murray (tilt, print issues, centering)
7. 1969 Ryan (always OC, many have broken border)
8. 1967 Carew (brutal centering is the norm on this one, too)
9. 1980 Bird Magic (the black line, the smudge in Magic panel, tilt)
10. 1978 Brett (print issues, broken border)
11. 1952 Berra
12. 1954 Mantle
13. 1958 Maris
14. 1968 Ryan (so tough to find one without print dots anywhere or tilt)
15. 1971 Munson (or I'd imagine any 1971 HOFer fits the bill)
