Condition
I've always felt the "burlap" card design helps hide condition wear, so the eye appeal of mid-grade+ cards is higher than the average condition sensitive set. Here are my (4) 1968 cards:
    I also think the design while some find ugly is unique and cool in a way...

I once sold like 6 Lee May cards at an Albany NY show back in the day. I had no idea at the time just how good it was. I have had a few in the past year and they have all sold for me and quickly. ANd yes for passably centered cards, I'm getting full Beckett of $10
Rob Veres of Burbank once told me that Joe Sparma was the hardest card for him to acquire from the 68 set. He thought it was the shortest printed card in the set. Yes, all the semi-hi and hi # Tigers cards are tough to real tough to find. Rich

Kirk...awesome pics, thanks for sharing! I love the old boxes...neat.
I picked up this 68 card off a fellow Net54er last week for my SGC Killebrew collection. I do think this is my favorite 60s card...all my favorites on one card. I think some would say too bad the Killer was on this card instead of Aaron or someone else, but for me...it couldn't be better... Progress report from the OP?
