I hate the "except for.." in my PC

R306 Butter Cream EXCEPT FOR RUTH
W575-2 EXCEPT FOR RUTH
E253 Oxford EXCEPT FOR RUTH

When the cost of one card exceeds the cumulative cost of the other cards in the set, it's a problem. At least for me.

My "never will have" exists in post 80's sets. More specifically the 1990 Topps set. I never will have the Frank Thomas NNOF. That is the big one for me. My sets only go back to 69 Topps and with very few exceptions, I have been successful in getting the hard to get ones for those respective years.

But Mr Thomas and I will never be together unless I dumb luck stumble across one somewhere. Just not likely to happen.

My sets are all post-war. Haven't dove into attempting any pre-war yet. So my "except for..." includes;

1949 Bowman set - except for Robinson, Paige, Snider, Doby
1952 Topps set - except for high numbers
1954 Bowman - except for Ted Williams
1959 Fleer set - except for "Ted Signs"
1960 Leaf Set - except for 2nd series
1971 Topps Football - except for Bradshaw Rookie
1980-81 Topps Basketball - except the Bird/Magic/Ervin card

Hoping to know one or two off my list by the end of next year but some may take a long time or even never.
