I don't think it is possible to complete it. I've never even seen images of some of the higher value prize cards. After 20+ years all I had was the $1 Osteen, the $1 Wilson and the $100 Davis, which is the most expensive prize card I've seen:



You've also got the instant winner card:



Not at the same level as the cash money cards but still quite difficult, and the Swoboda error, also quite difficult:



ETA: for those who don't know the issue, Swoboda was supposed to be part of the $10 combo but there was an error $5 card released that was probably pulled very quickly because it is really hard to find.

One of the amusements in my last copy of the Standard Catalog is that the $2,500 winner cards are both listed as being worth $350 in NM. I wonder where that price came from .

I only have, I think, a common Frank Robinson as a type card. It's a nice little oddball set I'd build in full if it was realistic. So many cards that are so rare that it's possible there are 0 extant copies left is a set builders nightmare. It's a set I enjoy from a sanity-saving distance

There is a Bowie Kuhn card that Topps apparently custom-made for Kuhn in 1969 that might fit your definition although I think that there are more of these around than one would think. Many are autographed.

Also if we're considering short-printed T-cards that make the sets hard to complete we \ need to include T207s of Lowdermilk, Lewis and Ward
T205s of Hoblitzell (sans Stats) and Mathewson (error) and maybe some others...
T202s of Mathewson/Devlin -- the Rustlers version appears to be harder than the Giants version....
I don't know if there is a comparable T201.... Someone else can explain the relative rarities in the T204 set (Square fronts etc).

Never mind…

Now I’m the one mixing up Atlantic oil and American oil…
