Bill good luck with the set, as you can see from my signature line, I'm 2 cards from completion. Todd's post above is pretty spot on. I have had major difficulty with finding the Coates card centered, in good condition for a reasonable price. Like most sets your condition and centering requirements will make this either a fairly simple set to put together or quite challenging. My set is roughly Ex/Mt and I'm a stickler for centering so it has been some work but I've had a great time. Patience has been key to not allow my condition goals to slide. Gibbons, Coates and Gentile are hard to find centered. Kaline and Musial always seem to be OC and or have the image tilted and for some reason I found Hal Smith #242 selling at a premium on Ebay, no idea why. I'd be happy to share my thoughts as they are still pretty fresh on this set. I have roughly 50 extras including some high numbers as well that might help you along. Good luck it's really a great set, IMO.
