I collected the entire '68 Set as a kid.... and proceeded to lose all of them. They were great at the time, as we were not worried about condition, holes or tearing. Just hung them up on the wall and admired them. I guess my biggest memory was getting Max Alvis over and over again, in hopes of scoring Pete Rose and Willie Mays. Finally got them all, including 6 Max Alvis and at least 4 Don Drysdale.
Looking back, I suppose that the paper is thin, and they tend to tear along the fold lines. Very hard to find these now in crisp condition, as most were "well loved" back in the day.
