You can also see it in the prices as well. A PSA 8 #128 Whitey Lockman sells (at auction) for between $2-4k... almost in the range of a PSA 8 #59 Mantle which usually sells for about $3.3k.
I love the set though! Some of the best looking cards ever made (IMHO).

Hi Jim
The toughest card in this entire set is without any question #121....Yogi Berra.
This story may interest you....circa 1985 there was a 1953 BOWMAN find in Mississippi of approx. 1000 color & B/W cards. The color cards were all Hi #'s (#113 - 160).
In the group of cards numbering 113 - 128 there was an average of 6 cards each, except for #121 (Yogi Berra) of which there was only one card.
Here are my 5 favorite cards in my set (the Martin / Rizzuto card would be the 6th favorite).
