Through The Trader Speaks, I posted a WTB ad for the remaining ten cards, and was able to find nine. In 1977 after graduation from college, I found a tiny closet sized shop near the UC Berkeley campus selling sports cards, run by Dennis King, and he provided the last card that I needed. Dennis still runs a shop near campus today.
