The last card you needed for a set

[novakjr]

Still compiling a bunch of cards for sets from the 70's. So far the '74 master set is the only one I've actually completed. I seem to keep getting sidetracked and just never get around to finishing the others, but will get to it soon.

Anyways, the last card I needed for the '74 set was card 599 the San Diego small letter variation. And of course, a few months later, I was looking through the set and noticed that I'd somehow misplaced the AS card with Reggie Jackson...Still can't find the damn thing.. So I guess I'm on my last card for a second time..

Don't you hate when that happens? Years ago, I was looking through my set of 1951 Topps CMAS that I kept in a locked file drawer - just took them out to admire them for a moment, and - 'hey, what the?' - the Ruth and Wagner cards were not there. I'm wracking my brain trying to think how they could evaporate: misplaced? theft? wife found the key? UFO aliens? After several hours searching my den and nearly at the end of my string, it occurs to me to go to another file drawer that contains some old team cards, and there are the two fugitives, still hiding where I stupidly left them a couple of months before.
