Reminded me a bit of '62 with the wood grain borders - so if you are looking for 8+ type quality, the struggle is real. I also found centering to be a hit and miss. If you collect card by card, it is a tad of a challenge putting out big dollars for umpire high numbers. But, if you want a solid mid-grade set and centering doesn't drive you OCD, there are plenty of opportunities to buy the whole thing for 2 grand or piece it together for north of that.
