I just picked up a lot that has pretty much all the stars from this set - if you have a wantlist, please PM me and I'll see if I can help.

Nice to see you having fun with this project.

The first card from the new lot of 21, and it's a pretty one:

6 Strikeout Leaders

This card had been missing.

I know I used to have at least 3 copies of this card that I sold and bought a graded copy maybe 3 years ago. Ah, shifting collecting focuses!
