[QUOTE=docpatlv;860301]Definitely this Clemente item...after a 15 year search, was able to finally pick this up (2 extra HOF'ers to boot).
Mike Mike---congratulations on this pick up. I think I have a set of these, assuming the final checklist is revised to excise a couple that seem not to exist. I think there should be vote/contest on which figure looks least and most like the person alleged to be depicted.

Thanks Al,
Is your set in singles form, panels or a combo of both. I only have the panel and another single, but to be honest, I don't think this is a set I am going to try to complete. My interests are definitely more in the pre-1920 era. But as a Clemente collector, I had wanted this for a long time. As far as your question about likeness goes. I know they are a little crude, but I think in most cases they resemble who they are supposed to. I think, for example Clemente is spot on and also Kaline, Rose, etc. A very tough set even with Drent's find in Scranton. Even now with higher (relatively speaking) availability, it will still take a small fortune to complete the set. Congrats on completing it, a very notable achievement in the world of Topps Test collecting. I don't think many people realize how scarce these truly are. Also, a while ago you had mailed me photocopies of some of the Plaks in your collection, and I just wanted to thank you again. Mike

Plaks
Mike---the set I have is a combination of singles and panels. I also have an unopened pack. I will defer to you on the likeness question. Maybe you have a better imagination than I do
. When Mile High was selling a bunch of these they pointed out there was a Mantle variation...big nose versus small nose. A friend of mine also has a set. He has big and I have small
