I know that there is very little chance of ever owning the Ivy Andrews card, and while the set is considered complete without it, that is a hard fact for me to accept. There is no guarantee that I will even be able to acquire all 31 of the other cards. These don’t come up very often. I am prepared to be in for the long haul on this one, and see how far I can get.
I'm at 8 beaters after 40 years. Not that I've been at all focused on that set.
It's one of my favorite sets.

The last one I got years ago was on ebay simply described as "old baseball card"
