Hi Dennis:
I have tackled and completed the set. It is a beauty! I agree.
The All Star Issues are easy to tell for 9 of the 12. They have much longer Bio's on the reverse. The three that do not are Bunning, Mays and Santo. See example of Kaline below
In terms of tough cards, The A's set seems to be tough for some reason.
The RAREST is a Paul Schaal of the Angels. He is the only Angel known and is in the Bateman 63 Pepsi realm. Heard about but very rarely seen. Again see below.
There also were no Cardinals. Supposedly due to A/B being a competitor of Coke who issued these when you turned in a complete sheet of the teams Coke Caps.
