Mike Tucci (18colt on eBay)I have been seriously collecting the set in "collector" grade condition (i.e., fair-poor and less) since the late 90s. I need between 60-65 to complete the set. I need Wagner, Plank, Magie, Doyle (if it's real), and O'Hara (I have Demmitt). I've collected the backs, except Ty Cobb (again, if you think it's real and not a promotional item) and a red Hindu (if it's not just an ink issue).
I really do love these little cards. A lot of great poses, great players, and varying degrees of difficulty and pricing to make it challenging. There's a reason it's called "The Monster". The name fits.
BTW -- I also am currently working on E96 (over 1/3 done), T3 (20% done), and T-205 (12% done).
So, by all means, if you like the set, go for it. It's an affordable and obtainable introduction to pre-war cards. A lot of us who collect occasionally get duplicates and are willing to trade, so this makes it even easier and more fun to collect this set.
Good luck.
