Complete/Near Set Builders- Toughest Card?

[barrysloate]

I was thinking Bruce meant Andrews, clearly the most expensive and rarest card in that set.

I agree with Anthony and Bruce

T200 - toughest - Boston Nationals.

There are 'four toughies' in the set with the Boston Nationals definitely the toughest. Next toughest is the NY Americans, followed by the two St. Louis cards.

T200 - most expensive.... for me I believe it was Boston Nationals. It might have been Cleveland. I think all things being equal, again I agree with Anthony and Bruce - - - a top notch T200 Detroit would probably be the most expensive.

If I had a George Miller Gehrig that would be something! What I had was a brain cramp. I meant to say the Delong Gehrig.

Most expensive - Detroit and NY Americans
Toughest - I think without question is the NY American. I have owned several Boston AL and NL and St. Louis and hardly ever see the NY Amer.

R312

Last card aquired - Mack/Grove and Wagner/Vaughan

1971 Topps Greatest Moments
Most expensive - Reggie Jackson

Speaking for myself, but I'm sure many others feel the same way, I am in awe of some of the collections that collectors like tbob and others that have posted in this thread of the sets in which they now own or at one time completed but no longer have. Amazing ans helpful information for those of us who love to build sets and may be looking at our next adventure in that realm. I know we have have a thread years back about the differences in set builders and type card collectors, but for whatever reason...I love building sets. Don't ask me how I got like this!
