After several years chasing this set it appears I will fall short. I still remember 4 or 5 years ago at the National, handing J.D. Heckathorn $1,100 for a raw Babe Ruth #144. Me spending $1,100 for a piece of cardboard? (now slabbed SGC 1 Poor). A couple years later, I retold JD how nervous I was forking out that kind of cash for a card, and he graciously offered to refund my purchase lol. I need the other three Ruth cards, both Gehrig cards, and then two other cards which i should be able to afford #89 Tris Speaker and #223 Dizzy Dean. Might be time to purchase a few reprints and call it done.

I'm in a similar position...just missing all 4 Ruths, #92 Gehrig and Lajoie...JUST!!! LMAO

Love the set and mine is mostly VG-EX with most of the HOF'ers graded and averaging a 5...and here is some cards.
