Hey Al

The Staub is easy to find. In fact there are several on eBay right now that I could easily pick up to finish off my set. I'm trying to trade for him though just the fun of trading for my last card. I know some other collector will be happy knowing they finished my set with a trade and I don't mind waiting for it. I do have both SPs at this point so that's a plus. I really like this set a lot.

Best.

Al.

What are those? Proofs? It looks like unissued players mixed with existing ones. And I've never seen them with red or black signatures.

Very cool

They apparently are early proof sheets for the 1969 issue . They can be found with red, blue or black autos. Some of the sheets have been cut and you can find individual cards on ebay. I think Yaz is the only player on the proof sheets who ended up in the set. The same 9 players appear on all 3 sheets but their location differs a little on some.

There was a recent Mile High auction in which deckled versions of these cards ( red autos) were offered and went for substantial sums. The uncut sheets show up on ebay, but not often ( I got all 3 of mine there). The blue autos seem the toughest

The last card needed to complete my 56 set. Just love this set!

Beautiful Koufax. And congrats on finishing the set. It's always been one of my favorites.
