I only know a few collectors, maybe 3-5, who collect these. Out of respect for their privacy I won't mention them by name. The problem with the set is that it's so rare it would take a while to complete a set, if one wasn't obtained already put together AND there are not really any higher end stars or HOF'ers (to be). After Peckinpaugh the star status drops off quite a bit..though admittedly I am not an expert on the nuances of the players in the set. Add to those things the fact that commons, while there have been a few recently for a little less, generally go for $800-$1250, in gd-vg, each. With 25 in the set it could be pricey to complete without ending with a whole lot of bang, except the fact you were able to complete a really rare set. I think they are neat type cards and recently upgraded 1 of my 2....(this Stein was upgraded to another player that is a bit nicer, condition wise)
