This set has always been a favorite of mine---I purchased a near set of 195/200 from Larry Fritsch in 1980 (which he told me he had put together himself along with his own set in 1962). I seem to remember paying about 400.00 for it, and that it was priced in the first Beckett at about 125.00. I don't recall all of the 5 cards it was missing, but #139 and 193 were the last two i purchased to finish the set a few months later.
Here is a link to my set--so happy to have this in my collection:

I echo Ken's words on your set. It is a beauty.
I note at the bottom you show the Gifford and Unitas from the 1960 Post Cereal set. Did you know there was a "new" variation of the Gifford discovered a few years back? Perhaps Ken can chime in about that. He is the man that wrote the book after all!
