A few pieces of eye candy for those of you who are into these!

Wow - how many other sets (black swamp aside) from the early teens can be built with HOFers like that, at that grade?

100% agree! That's why I decided to put it together. You can get very high graded cards of this set for similar prices to several grades lower of t206, e90-1, etc...

The Johnson card is one of my favorites! I have all of the set in 8 or better with a bunch of high grade doubles I need to do something with..haha!

At some point you'd think these cards would catch on. It's a beautiful set!
