The one that glares for me is my 54 Bowman set mentioned earlier...mine is "except for Ted Williams..." and that does bother me. I've been looking for the right deal for too long...lol.
The "except for..." has caused me to not start most sets such as 52 Topps. My OCD can't stand things not complete...

Ruth, Ruth, Ruth
R306 Butter Cream EXCEPT FOR RUTH W575-2 EXCEPT FOR RUTH E253 Oxford EXCEPT FOR RUTH When the cost of one card exceeds the cumulative cost of the other cards in the set, it's a problem. At least for me.

My "never will have" exists in post 80's sets. More specifically the 1990 Topps set. I never will have the Frank Thomas NNOF. That is the big one for me. My sets only go back to 69 Topps and with very few exceptions, I have been successful in getting the hard to get ones for those respective years.
But Mr Thomas and I will never be together unless I dumb luck stumble across one somewhere. Just not likely to happen. Butch Turner

My sets are all post-war. Haven't dove into attempting any pre-war yet. So my "except for..." includes;
1949 Bowman set - except for Robinson, Paige, Snider, Doby 1952 Topps set - except for high numbers 1954 Bowman - except for Ted Williams 1959 Fleer set - except for "Ted Signs" 1960 Leaf Set - except for 2nd series 1971 Topps Football - except for Bradshaw Rookie 1980-81 Topps Basketball - except the Bird/Magic/Ervin card Hoping to know one or two off my list by the end of next year but some may take a long time or even never.
