Nate...good luck with your quest! I too did 66 first, and still think that set is harder to complete, although with the Carew/Seaver/Brooks the 67s no doubt have some bigger cards to pony up for. Cost goes to 67, lack of availability goes to 66, at least in my experience. Also, it took me 8 months to do my 66s...and I will be done in half the time with my 67s. That is hardly a barometer, I certainly got some lucky breaks on my 67s.

Again, I am no expert, just fresh in the chase. Here has been the hardest 67 hi numbers to locate and have extra cost attached that I have found -

(I'll mention I am judging this by looking for the best deals on EX cards, anyone can simply go buy all the BINs and be done with it. The challenge is setting goals on cost, and fighting for victories)

535 Don Clendenon (Availability)
540 Norm Cash (Availability, Cost)
544 Indians Team (Availability)
558 Orioles Rookies (Availability, Cost)
560 Jim Bunning (Availability, Cost)
567 Steve Hamilton (Availability)
569 Carew RC (Cost, there seems to be plenty available)
570 Maury Wills (Availability, Cost)
576 National L Rookies (Availability, Cost)
580 Rocky Colavito (Availability, HIGH Cost)
581 Seaver RC (Availability, HIGH, HIGH Cost)
587 National L Rookies (Availability, Cost)
595 Cookie Rojas (Availability in EX, Cost)
600 Brooks Robinson (Availability in EX, HIGH Cost)
604 Red Sox Team (Extremely Tough to find in any shape, HIGH Cost)
605 Mike Shannon (Availability, High Cost)
607 Mickey Stanley (Availability, High Cost)
609 Tommy John (Cost)



I am sure I may have got lucky on some that are harder for others...and I may not be lucky where others came easier...just my experiences and I hope that helps! I have certainly enjoyed this set a ton...
