Jonathan,
Thanks for the kind words.
Believe me, If I could go back and get Unitas I would. He died during a time when I was not actively collecting so I did not get a chance to send in for him, but I would have. When I started to collect seriously again, the mag had Mantle, Mays, and Koufax on it. I paid $60 for Brown, $100 for Russell, and $35 for Hull, before sending in for Ali. Had I not been able to add the first 3, I don't think I would have paid that much for Ali. Having him being the last one available made it worth it to me.
The other mag was similar, but only needed Berra, Musial, and Aaron. Berra and Musial were around $55-60 each. If they had already passed, I am not sure if I would have spent that much on Aaron.
