There are three Dodger team sets I’m working on that are all down to just one card to go. Technically a full Diamond Stars team set would include both Mungo cards (1934 #19 and 1936 #102), but I’m satisfied with just one.

Missing cards are T205 Wilhelm, Diamond Stars Babich, and Bowman Reese.

Congrats on all the progress you've all made. Ed congrats on the '77 set, it was the first set I was really able to go after completing as a kid so holds a special place in my heart. I just picked up these and now I'm down to just one more card for my '62 set.

Hi Bob, the last Mohican is #320 Hammerin' Hank. I'm finding this card difficult to find well centered at a reasonable price. I'm putting together the master set with green tints and variations.

A daunting task! Good luck finding a nice Aaron.

Bill— for purposes of a master set are you using the PSA master list or something else ?

I have 6 or 7 of the aluminum printing plates that don't fit my collection. I bought them not 100% sure if they were legit, but from my research they're somewhat common in '62s. I'm not much of a '60s collector so you'd know way more than I regarding them. Five or six are team cards and one is the Boyer with someone else horizontal card. Since you're going after a master set they might fit well so let me know if interested.

This is the first baseball set from the fifties I've ever built and decided to go with one that had fewer cards as an entry point. What a great set and honestly, I think, undervalued in regards to the top HOFers. The Mays, Williams and Mantle are all very reasonable, especially considering they are still early releases for Mays and Mantle. The others like Berra, Matthews, Snider, Campy and Hodges were all less than $100 in presentable condition. I'm down to four cards and one of those is Mantle, but I'm being disciplined on picking up the right one for the allocated budge. My Williams is pretty rough but I really just wanted to complete it in binder for viewing and kept my budget to $2500 for the entire set. If I can pick up a Mantle that is not destroyed for ~$500 then I'll have accomplished it within budget.

I picked up 77 more cards towards the completion of my 72 set. Series 1-4 are now completed.

10 more and series 5 will be done. 71 more and the set will be finished. The 71 are all series 6.
