Hi Rob -
Your comment of -
"...I was only one bid away from paying about $150 for the card..." pretty much sums up exactly how I felt about the end of that auction. Only in my case, with a little more remorse since I failed to win the item. Terrific looking card so congrats again!
To answer an earlier question, I know of one collector who has finished the set and another who is only one card away. After these two individuals, I'm not too optimistic that there are enough cards in the hobby for too many more sets after theirs. Just not nearly enough cards to go around it seems and large groups of these are very rarely made available like you see from a lot of other tough sets (ie...e94s, e98s, etc..). With their EXTREMELY fragile nature, I suppose it's not entirely surprising that so few copies of certain cards have survived to this day.
