Been kinda busy lately, so I haven't had much chance to continue to research this idea. I still want to check out those Bazooka's listed above.

As for a master set of Red Man, it's definitely a contender. Actually, back when I was collecting 40's and 50's stuff, the plan was to complete a Red Man set after my '48 Bowman and '54 Red Hearts were wrapped up. I've been by Ron's site a number of times. The fact that it's 4 separate sets leaves plenty of room for milestones to keep me motivated, too. I'd be curious to know what the price difference (in percentage) would be between a no-tab and comparably graded tabbed set.

As noted, the 47-66 exhibits are on the (short) list. I had a half-dozen or so Dodgers at one point, and really like the photography. As you said, Scott, the Exhibit set has plenty of affordable star power too. I don't know of any other set that has Paige, Robinson, Mantle and Aaron, let alone Clemente, Musial, Berra, Reese, etc. If Williams was in the 47-66 set and not the 39-46 set, it might be a done deal. I do wish that the set was a bit smaller, though.

Choices, choices. I hate being indecisive...I think

Richard.
