I recall two "modern" sets that had cards that drove me crazy. In 1970, I had to wait until returning to school in the fall to find someone that had the 1970 Seattle Pilots team card. That was the last one I need to finish that set.
A few years later, I remember trading several Hank Aaron Highlight cards and a Tom Seaver to get the bane of my 1974 set, Willie Crawford. Ironically, in my searches and box openings, I had given Willie the same middle name that Boston fans would apply to Bucky Dent later in the decade. To this day, I cringe whenever I see that card.
