If I remember correctly, I got all these cards in 1968, but the Carl Yastrzemski card has not yellowed like all my others have, so maybe I got that one much later.

Notable stars of that time missing from this set are Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal, Willie McCovey, and Lou Brock.

Its nice to see the entire set together like you've got them. Thanks! Another notable star that is AWOL is Ernie Banks.
I played with this set constantly - wow, to see them all. I remember distinctly that the Yaz card felt different from the others - stronger card stock - maybe that's the reason it hasn't yellowed with age?
