Is my collection complete?

Right, and the Dalrymple!

Yeah, the red and white lettering are to me like the red and black backs of the 1952 set. My approach would be that if I got the 1969 Mickey Mantle with the white lettering, then that would be the one I'd have. If it had the yellow, that would be just as nice. Either way, I would have a 1969 Mickey Mantle.

Of course, it's totally cool if someone wants to get all the variations. We all approach collecting differently, which helps make the world go 'round!
