Hi Barry,
When I confirmed their existence and whereabouts, it was not much longer before I got the opportunity to add them to my collection last year. In January I was able to pick up the last one I needed so my set is complete. All the baseball images of n167s shown in the article are from my collection. I believe this is the first and only complete n167 set in the modern hobby.

That is truly an amazing accomplishment Jim. It's only twelve cards, but among the toughest dozen out there.

I haven't received the article yet, so I don't know if it's detailed in there, but Jim's research and pursuit of the cards that were rumored to be in this set is an incredible tale in and of itself. I have never heard of someone working so hard for so long to complete a set and it's an incredible accomplishment. This wasn't just a case of a guy writing a check but rather years of research and following leads to find his holy grail. Congrats Jim!

Stunning!

I'm on the road traveling so I haven't yet had the privilege of studying it in person. I was able to find the following on eBay. Looking forward to some top notch reading!

Jim,

Congratulations on having completed this set. While I admittedly know next to nothing about 19th Century cards, the comments left by others lead me to believe you have completed something special.

Please pardon my ignorance here; however, I would like to ask something. Are Corcoran and either Conner or Gerhardt the two elusive issues you mentioned above? I only inquire because of the different typesetting with the, "Old Judge" text on the front.

Best Regards,

Eric
