I have decided not to persue this set any longer and am making my partial set available. Great Multi-Sport set that is a very fun set to collect, a la Sports Kings but requiring a bit more patience. This partial set consists of exactly 1/2 the set 28 out of a total of 56 cards. All the cards can be seen on my website at the link provided below.

This partial set does NOT include any of the 3 baseball players but does include the Hooley Smith Hockey card, which is one of the key cards to this tough set. Below you will also find a list of the cards to be included.

The 28 cards can be had for $1150 shipped. It beats having to slowly build a collection to go for the set. This is a rare opportunity to pick up the bulk of a fun and challenging set to collect. The condition of the cards varies but they are fairly high grade for the most part (as will be seen in the scans) but please check out the scans to see exactly what you are getting. Backs are all clean and unblemished.
