Always nice to respond to Walter Johnson's grandson!

There are 66 total in the set Hank.

The first 30 or so are considered base cards. The last half of the set shows most of the low number base players in an In Action pose so most players have 2 poses in the set.

Thanks Hank and hope you are doing well!

Thanks, Woody, I'm doing OK for an old guy. Threw out first pitches in Minneapolis and D.C. this summer to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1924 World Series. Your set reminds me of a complete signed Ted Williams 1959 Fleer set I saw in person once, just other-worldly cool! You ever see Tom?

Wow, that is amazing. Would you have pursued the set if there were no known Brauns?

And if you had a choice between a vintage ball point sig or a newer sharpie sig, which way would you go?

Again, congratulations.

I have pursued the set for 10 years. I've gone through stages of selling excess and losing the #1 set spot on the Registry. I knew the collector who got the Braun (I sadly missed out on it because I did not know it was being sold).

I then negotiated with that individual for the Braun and others that I recently needed.

I prefer clean looking cards and clean autos either vintage or recent. Many of the players are deceased so most were signed years ago but I'm ok with a nice clean sig either way.

I've interacted with some in the set either in person, through the mail, or talking on the phone with a couple of players. It's been a fun pursuit!

As you can imagine I certainly lost my confidence along the way in ever being able to put the set together as for awhile there were ZERO Brauns slabbed so yes it tested my patience but it eventually paid off!

Thanks!
