I have mixed feelings about that beauty being broken, although I might feel differently if I got a whole bunch of them 
A near set that close to completion is beyond unusual, and the chances of it being re-assembled are slim. Of course, the stand-alone Ruth Indy Brewing would be needed at some point, so that greatly increases your outlay. Still, the missing 12 cards are nearly all Hofers or Black Sox, and key cards seem to survive and/or become more accessible as time passes. I'd hang onto it in hopes of completion, at least for a pretty long while.
