I think the 1966 Topps high-numbers are the toughest. When I was working on my LA Dodgers 1958-1990 team sets, it took me years-longer than any other card before I finally found a Bart Shirley/Grant Jackson RC; it was the last card i needed to finish the run. I'd ask every dealer I saw at card shows (mainly the big Tri-Star Houston shows that drew dealers from throughout the country; along with looking on ebay, and no one had the card. Finally, a dealer from Florida who set up at one of the Houston shows, happened to have one in ex-mt/nr mint and I snagged it.
