Congratulations Orioles. These are tough cards. I have settled for just one example to put with each of my corresponding Topps sets.

Does your story about you direct purchases have any intrigue in it ? I know a collector, Josh, A761506, who is a serious collector of these and is close to completing all these sets, and he has some amazing stories about direct bulk purchases from sources there. I know another collector, Mariner, who is also close to completing a couple of the sets, 59 and 60 I think.

As you say, finding them in even Ex condition is not easy since the practice seems to have been to glue all the cards in albums
