I managed to win this card in last nights The Collector's Connection auction.



It was the final card I needed to finish my 1968 set. I started working '68 about 4 years ago. Two years ago, I needed 6 to finish the set and added 4 over the course of the subsequent year. So, for the last year, I have needed two to finish. I managed to win the Lou Brock a few weeks back with Greg Morris, leaving just the Ryan RC. I've really struggled with Ryan because $300-$400 is the upper end of what I can afford and this card consistently sold for more than that. Obviously, the card has some serious fading on the left hand side, but that doesn't bother me since the condition otherwise is right where I would want it.

Now, on to 1960, where I only need 2 to finish, and 1965, where I am 21 cards short of the full set.
