Last Card Needed

1960 Topps- Danny Murtaugh - tough one to find nice, manager from my favorite teams World Series victory year.

1966 Topps- Grant Jackson -I looked so long for one I since have become a little bit of a hoarder of this one as i buy it when i see one priced reasonably.

1980 Topps- Roy Smalley This was the first set I ever put together as an 8 year old. I still rember buying the card at a flea market at Wilson central junior high in 1980. I still remeber the feeling like it was yesterday. I do not know what happend to that particular card, it is one i actually hope is still in my old card chest at my parents with other sentimental but worthless (dollar wise) cards.

19867-87 Fleer Basketball- I got lucky and started the set when Jordan was still only $35. By the time I finished the set was pretty popular I think the Barkley cost me as much as The Jordan by the time I bought it from Gary Oates ( at his parents house in Wernersville PA) whom I ran into at this years national, he still is in the business.

There have been many more, these stood out for some of the reasons mentioned.

Nice stories, guys. There is a story behind the last e94 overprint I needed, but I forget all of the details now.

In both 1973 and 1974 when I was putting my sets together old-school by trading and buying cards at grocery stores and five and dimes, both years Cy Acosta was the last card I needed.

The last card for my T206 520 set was O'Hara St. L. Just took a while. I think I ended up overpaying just a little in the end.

Finishing up my 1933 DeLong Gehringer was the last card I needed. I was quite happy with the buy I got on that one.
