The Ewing and mascot was "relatively easy" to get - took me "only" seven years. The Williamson and mascot proved more elusive - that took thirteen.

Ewing/Mascot was my card that I wanted for the longest time before getting. First saw it when I was nine in a baseball card calendar. Got in 18 years later. The Williamson Mascot took me a couple weeks to get. Never saw it before getting Lew Lipset's book, then once I did, I wanted one. An example showed up on ebay about a week later and I won it.

I'd kill to have one of these cards. To have the set, well.....amazing!

Ummmm.....Jim's accomplishment(s) notwithstanding, I'd vote for both of you!
