Purportedly only 500 78 Laughlin Black Stars sets were produced.

Yes. But I am only interested in the Hilton Smith...and unfortunately it looks like someone else is more interested in it than I am. If I could offset some of the cost of the Smith with the rest of the set, I may dive in.

Tough call.

Thanks!

Tom - I have a complete set (but only need/want those three "rookies").. I can sell you the Hilton Smith for a fair price.

No need to go nuts for a complete set if you only need the one card. Sorry I outted the auction...I thought you had one already based on your original post.

I'll PM you shortly.
