Thanks, JW.

Since 2016 when I joined this site.
I already had 148 my father gave me, including Mantle, Mays and Robinson, so it was definitely easier than starting from scratch, but a heck of an endeavor nonetheless.

Thanks, Jay.

The current exchange rate is a killer, as are most shipping fees, so it makes it extra tough for sure.
I'm pretty sure I'll have to get real lucky somehow obtaining the last two but my fingers are crossed.

Tell me about it. eBay is way over priced. I gave it a what the hell and was bidding on one from Greg morris, I bid a stupid amount 115.00 (just because I want this set done) and lost out at 117.00

I found mine on COMC a few weeks back for $55 - I don't know what your condition parameters are, but aside from being o/c with just a slight tilt, this is otherwise a solid EX+ and fits in with my set perfectly the scan here makes the edges and corners look fuzzy - they aren't).

I increasingly look to COMC - I have never been unpleasantly surprised with the the condition of any vintage I've bought, and often the cards in hand look better than their scans.

Trying to find this one on eBay, even at GM, is ridiculous. I was really surprised at how hard it was to find a Koufax in EX-EXMINT or better - I finally had to overpay (in my opinion) and go just over $100 for one on a GM auction.
