I don't have a count as to how many cards/items I have in my Pierce PC. I still have about three items on my want list. His '59 Bazooka is the costliest. I'm not in a hurry but I'll catch it at the right price one day. The others are a 1962 Shirriff Plastic Coin and 1959 Topps Venezuelan Ace Hurlers #156.
Here is a picture I took of it about four years ago and sent to Pierce for a signature. It's grown a bit since.
