At least 1969 Topps 1,100,200,300,400,500 and 600
It's going to take me awhile to finish the set so I thought I would celebrate getting the 1st card in each stack.
I just bought #600 Oliva which gives me 370/664. I think it's going to take a long time to get the last 290+.

OT: whenever I see that 1969 card #1 I have to chuckle. Danny Cater finished second in the 1968 batting title race…when he only batted .290!!!!!!!!!!! A measly .290 got him forever on a leaders card. (Golf clap.)
Edited to add: If you look on the back of the card, the top 50 batters are listed. 21 of them batted below .250, and the last player listed is Paul Blair at .211. The year of the pitcher indeed!!

Yaz had a big September
Don't forget that Yaz entered September batting .285, trailing Oliva at .289. He batted around .370 or so in September just to get to .301.
Without his big Septmeber the AL batting champion would have been .290

This was an early birthday present to myself. Just came today and I was blown away by it, in hand. I have never been happier with a card purchase than this one. As happy, yes, but never happier.
I suspected it was sitting a little crooked in the eBay scan, which it was (this is the eBay scan; I am far too lazy right now to do another). I would bet the farm this card-- if cracked and resubmitted-- will come back an 8. In this rare case I think I have to do just that. I've had mis-graded 7s go to 9s in the past, and this card seems as much a lock as those rare instances were. Over the moon with this Mick!
