That’s impressive LuckyLarry. I would have to imagine there aren’t too many master sets out there. These cards aren’t rare, but they are definitely more scarce than the 1933 or 1934 set. And the effort it would take to find all the back combinations seems like it would take some time. Like I said, I MAY someday try and get the 72 different puzzle pieces, but the master set probably is out of my budget and patience limit.
I actually built my own checklist and rare back list based on the PSA pop report, so I’ll cross reference mine against yours to see if I have all the rare backs listed correctly.
As it turned out, my beat up Ruth happened to be one of the rare ones (5A) so that was kind of cool.
