Thanks, Carter. I do remember what I paid for the first two. I was a sophomore in college and by necessity watched every penny. I was "rich" from my summer job and popped for $25 each. I was broke by October. The other two were bought at local card shows in the later '70s for; I think, around $50 each. Definitely less than $100. I love the entire set!

That’s amazing - thanks for sharing.

I'm on the #144 team.



I'd really like to pick up an early '20's E or Exhibit. But I think that ship has sailed.
