I've been doing detailed work on that set for COMC and breaking all the backs down. I know I missed a couple but there are a ton of cards with different backs and if you wanted to do that set it's a really well done reprint set,

In my first round of the hobby, from '72-'77 or so, I would buy the current set every year to go along with the pre War stuff I was collecting. Your options were basically Frisch or Stan Martucci. About '75 Renata Gallasso came along, offering sets for a couple of bucks less. From what I heard at the annual Anaheim convention she hired a bunch of college kids to pull them together, and developed a large business. The old time dealers used to make jokes about it but if I could save $2 on the '76 set that meant 4 more T206's, so the choice for my friends and I was pretty easy. Plus she shipped super fast. Unlike the guys above she never had anything pre '75 or so, but for the current year she was great to deal with.

Wow have times changed...now make that about $200, for anything VG or above anyway.

I remember buying sets from her in the early '80's. I had a few friends that collected and I talked them into having me order their sets with mine. One year, based on the number of sets ordered she included a large color autograph poster. I have a very nice autograph poster of Reggie Jackson and another of Frank Robinson. Then i also have some of the T206 cards.
