1951 Topps Team NY Yankees EX
1951 Topps Team Cleveland Indians EX

You will all no doubt be shocked to learn than my list is all about my man Mays, and picking up the last few pieces on the master set, plus one that is optional, and one that probably should be on the master set:

1963 Post Cereal complete panel

1964 sports heroes stickers (oddly enough, I have the full sheet with Mays, which PSA has declined to slab, but I don’t have the individual sticker, unless I want to cut it off of my full sheet.)

1966 Dominican Republic

1968 American Oil left side

1971 Bazooka numbered complete panel

And since we don’t have a card yet on this thread, here is the complete sheet for the 1964 sports heroes.

[Cliff Bowman]

I’ll cheat and do a 6 through 10.

6. 1967 Topps Punch Out Billy Williams
7. 1967 Topps Stand Up Ron Santo
8. 1947 Tip Top Andy Pafko
9. 1969 MLB Pin B&W Pin Ken Holtzman
10. 1971 Stadium Pin Jose Ortiz

ETA, actually I need 11.

11. 1971 Bazooka Numbered Randy Hundley

I dont see this in the master set
And you're right the sports heroes should be

Well, my good man, it’s not on the master set because no one has attempted to add it. For that matter, I didn’t know that a fullly intact panel still existed. But now that I’ve seen one, I’ll have to add it to my list.

Along those lines, let me know if you ever decide to part with this one.

The Mantle/bauer panel is also not in the mantle master set
And that one has been graded

In that case, someone who is collecting the set has to request it to be added to the master set. I think the rule is that you are required to have a minimum of 5% of the set completed before you can ask to have a piece added. And you can only request to add pieces that are in your inventory.

It could also be a case where someone just doesn’t want to make the list any longer, because there’s already plenty on the list as it is. Or it could just be that whoever owns it doesn’t give a flying leap about the set registry.
