As a kid [in the 80's], I remember seeing pictures of Yogi Berra and Warren Spahn 1951 Red Backs and thinking how cool it'd be to own one. When I got back into collecting in the early 2000's, I got a Warren Spahn from Gar Miller, and proceeded to put together a raw g-vg set [including both variations]. The last card I needed was Duke Snider -- and Gar gave it to me as a gift for graduating university.
Compared to nearly every other set listed in this thread, what I did was easy, but it wasn't any less fun. Just thinking back to it has me thinking about building the set again!
Richard.
