I did 66 and 67…..67 seemed harder with the highs selling for more And I didn’t learn my lesson and did 2 more sets after the first lol. 66 wasn’t really hard some dumb highs but nothing to make you jump off a roof.

I’m now 9 cards away from finishing 1961 topps set…..average high common….20-30 range in Exmint or better……just remember to have fun

Congrats on finishing the 58s! 67 is a fun challenge, I've done it twice...patience is the key. Interesting that Banks was your last card...mine was the Aaron/Mantle...I kept getting outbid, very popular card.

66, 67, now 61...great work Elberson...even a couple years past the journey it's still fun to go back and look through the journey!

I don't remember specifically which one it was, but the Aaron/Mantle was one of the last 5. My experience was much the same with that one. Funnily enough, the first 1958 card I got was the individual Mantle, which I bought 12 years ago before prices went nuts. I think I paid around $100 for a card in G condition and it was the most I had paid for a card up to that point. Seems quaint now.
