ANy Die Hard Diamond Stars Collectors out here?

I have my dad's diamond stars from when he was a kid. A while ago for his 70th birthday I made his baseball card. It proudly is included in the framed set on the wall of the man cave.

BTW-dad's card bumped Lefty for #1 in the set

What is the hardest card to find in this set?

The high numbers (97 and up) are definitely tough. The correct spelling version of #36 Ernie Lombardi and the #54 Hank "Greenburg" error are also somewhat tough.

I figured as much with the high numbers. Thanks for the heads up on the other two. I've been thinking about diving in to this set. Mainly because there is no Ruth or Gehrig . I like to think I can get the grove and the highs over time. But I ussallly like to take a swing at the hardest card to get first. It helps me pick up the cheaper cards without feeling like I'm missing out in something. ( I'm not a set collector but I live the look of this set. There is not much on this set when searching the web. So I've been watching this thread also , hoping for some gurus on this set .

Thanks for your response! It was very much appreciated.

Glad to help.

I'm about halfway done with a graded master set myself, and also love the look of this set.

Already have both Groves ('34 & '35), but missing the Greenberg, Greenburg, "Ernie" Lombardi, Cuyler Reds variant, many of the year/back variants, as well as about half of the semi high and high numbers.

Sounds pretty sweet! Does any grove cards command a premium? Does any one know if there are any cards that don't have a variation?
