Lyons is one of the easier Hall of Famers to get as there are a few of him floating around (Pop report isn't complete on this one, I know there are at least 3 and probably 4) Pop report of 3 doesn't sound good but on a Diaz, that's pretty high.
With Diaz it's just keep checking auctions and ebay till they show. There was a massive dump a couple of years ago that put quite a few cards into the population, before that we weren't even sure if a 2nd complete set could exist. (There's a mysterious complete set that sold in '96 through Christies I've never gotten any additional info on)
Good luck finding one, Lyons is hard and expensive but he's not as rare as Ruffing
