Congrats on finishing 1954. A great set.

Awesome! It was the very first set I finished (1979!) and remains among my favorites of all time. Wish I still had that set but I sold it to finance the dating thing during the lean years in law school.

I'm working on the 1954 set as we speak...just picked up what has been a tough card for me to find in the condition I want and the price I was willing to pay...#139 the O'Brien twins in PSA 7. Qualters was your last card, but what was the toughest card for you? With the O'Briens out of the way, my vote is for Clem Labine...can't seem to find him in a PSA 7...

I don't really know if I had a "tough" card. I really got lucky in completing this set. I bought a collection that had all but 17 of them, luckily all I needed were common cards. I picked about 5 or 6 at a local card show in November. Then the next one, last weekend, the same dealer had just bought a collection that had some 54s in raw shape. I was able to get all but the Qualters from him that day. Then went to the card shop (higher than a card show, this one is anyways) and found the Qualters. Since I wasn't to worried about condition at the moment I didn't really have a "tough"card.
