Me either. I have been working on some of my sets for so long that the card-by-card price is probably not that bad versus if I had put them all together quickly in the last year or two. I'm sure what I may have paid for some cards in 1999 say, would seem like a bargain today.

No, no Mick. I'm just doing 1-310. And looking for the Mays in at least EX.

My fave from '67 is the Brooks Robinson.
