The last card you needed for a set

[saltire]

Great thread, guys! Here's a list of my "last cards" from 1960-1973:

1960: #316 McCovey
1961: #531 Coates
1962: Still one to go (#594 UeckerRC)
1963: Still one to go (#536 RoseRC)
1964: #538 Minoso
1965: #207 Rose
1966: Still 11 to go
1967: Still 22 to go
1968: #490 Killebrew/Mays/Mantle
1969: #640 Jenkins
1970: #580 Rose
1971: #630 Clemente
1972: #703 Griffin
1973: #615 Schmidt

Bit of a mix. Interestingly, only one featuring Mantle.

My favorite cards are the mid 1950's regional wiener cards.
Just finished my 1953 Hunter Wiener set and the last card
being Willard Schmidt.

Going back several years, the last Topps card for my 1951-90 set run was the 1966 Topps Minnesota Twins team card.
1960 Leaf Jim Brosnan
1963 Fleer Joe Adcock

By far the toughest Rodeo wiener card to obtain is the 1956 Joe Astroth and it was the last card that completed both the 1955 & 1956 sets for me. I also have two of the 1955 Rodeo Scrapbooks.

Does anyone out there have an extra 1954 Hunter Wiener Stan Musial??

Here are some I remember:

1969: Bobby Cox (#237)
1968: Lee May - I swear that card is short printed
1967: Seaver - enough said
1964: Orioles Team Card (#484?)
1966: Denny McLain, Roger Craig, or Dick Green. I just remember all 3 took me forever.
1961: George Thomas (541?)
1959: Nellie Fox AS

Something weird is about the 1968 Lee May card. It is the semi high series and I once sold, 12 of them in one Albany show for probably $1 each when they booked for probably a quarter.

The minute the crowd heard I had a few, they ALL were sold that show.

The Bobby Cox was tough for me in packs in 1969 as well one of the last I needed

Any comment on tougher 72s? I've found the Ron Cey RC is a tough one to get, also 70 Gamble RC gets some love

70 Gamble is indeed a toughie in high grade. My last card for the 70 set.

Yes, there is something weird about this card's availability (or lack thereof). As it happens, I need just three cards to finish off my EX-MT 1968 set, and wouldn't you know it -- the Lee May card is one of them!
