Thanks Al,

Is your set in singles form, panels or a combo of both. I only have the panel and another single, but to be honest, I don't think this is a set I am going to try to complete. My interests are definitely more in the pre-1920 era. But as a Clemente collector, I had wanted this for a long time.

As far as your question about likeness goes. I know they are a little crude, but I think in most cases they resemble who they are supposed to. I think, for example Clemente is spot on and also Kaline, Rose, etc.

A very tough set even with Drent's find in Scranton. Even now with higher (relatively speaking) availability, it will still take a small fortune to complete the set. Congrats on completing it, a very notable achievement in the world of Topps Test collecting. I don't think many people realize how scarce these truly are.

Also, a while ago you had mailed me photocopies of some of the Plaks in your collection, and I just wanted to thank you again.

Mike
