Earlier this year I made a focus to finish my 1978 Grand Slam set...I had gotten more than 60 TTM as a teenager. I ended up getting in contact with the sets original publisher who had one extra set which he had gotten for his son but his son had never gotten interested. Of course, the Carl Reynolds is not possible as he passed while the set was at the printers. The Rube Walberg is very difficult as he died shortly after the set was produced. The George McQuinn card is probably more difficult. At some point Jackie Jensen quit responding to TTM requests. Thornton Lee personalized all the cards...it was a fun experience...I was able to get a Bobby Doerr TTM...nearly 40 years after I had purchased the set!
