Bob Cerv seams to be the go to card here. Along with Gentile.

Anyway, far fewer 61 highs offered than any other 60's set.

I can only say it will be a long road on this set.

I was a bidder in the 8 card lot (6 by the title) and was shocked also by the result....especially at the hour of the morning. At that hour of the day, I am rarely sniped by (at least) 5 other bidders.

I know, there were 8 pictured and 6 in the title. The cards were attractive, thought I had a chance. Again, must have been something about the cards offered.
Went to an old beckett circa 91 and the Gentile, Cerv and Monbouquette were all list as individual cards. So something was going on with scarcity.
Another 1967 high mystery

Bill, I think what drove the price on this auction is that they were not only nice looking cards, but more importantly, they were consistently centered.

I did not see the cards, but can't agree more if they are centered. If you're looking to put a set together that is well centered it will be some work. But nothing good is easy!
