I don't know if it's the only known complete set, Jim, but I haven't heard of another. I wouldn't be surprised if a veteran collector somewhere out there has a complete set. Perhaps someone who specialized in Newsboys in general.

Barry, for a whale, Newman was very light on his feet!

Outstanding accomplishment.

At one point I considered making a run at completing this set. I gave up after, umm, one.

Hi Mark, the card like all cabinets is two pieces, the mat and the photo portion. But, I think you are asking is "the photo portiion" two parts. The answer to that is no. I think the photo portion on Meekin (as well as Van Haltren) is a photo of a photo, with the original photo being photographed with a round cut out on top of it.
