Default Yogi Berra Master Set

Hi everyone,

I am pretty close to completing my Mantle project and am thinking through my next collecting endeavor. I am considering tackling a Berra master set. I was wondering if any collectors had any insight into this project before I get started. I looked around on eBay a bit, and it seems like most of the cards are readily available.

Assuming I am okay with low grade cards:
1. Any cards out there that will be particularly difficult to find?
2. Anything out there that will be particularly expensive?
3. Anything else I should be aware of before moving forward?

I was thinking Yogi Berra since there is so much overlap with my Mantle set. I would already have all of the Topps/OPC team cards, most of the exhibit team cards (51, 52, 56, 57), and the Mantle/Berra Push Pull. I also already have a decent copy of his rookie.

Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Chris

Thanks Al. I just looked at that one on eBay and you are right. Looks like it will likely be one of the hardest to find in the set and the most expensive.

I may be wrong about this; but, I think this 1947 BOND BREAD card of Yogi is his first "rookie" card as a Major Leaguer. It is not scarce;
however, it is a tough card to find.

Sold one without the background last year for $250. Bought one with the background for $675.

Thank you everyone for weighing in. I have started a few projects without really understanding the potential difficulties associated with them, so it is really nice to have the feedback from everyone.

Definitely agreed. It seemed like a natural choice.
