You can complete it without robbing Fort Knox. I can't justify spending a king's ransom on the high numbers in the '67 or '66.

He made some football QB cards for me also.<br /><br /><br />The '68 set had their disasters with Astros and Athletics cards.<br /><br />The '66 set had ugly all-capless Braves and Angels cards. Both teams were color-coded lavender, which didn't help any either.<br /><br />By contrast, the '67 set is amazing. (Well, everyone says that about the first set they collected.) But there are only 4 airbrushed cards in the whole lot (Mayo Smith, Tom Egan, Dodgers Rookies, and I forget which other one, but I've mentioned it in the 1967 blog post that includes Mayo Smith.)Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514426675566670499.post-16074043279710824752019-01-08T16:48:42.178-05:002019-01-08T16:48:42.178-05:00Totally agree on the Astros and Athletics.

Also, Bob Lemke made some great 68 Reggie Jackson's which I am sure you have seen. Was sorry to hear about Bob's passing a while ago. He was really a good blogger. Anyway, thanks to John and Bob they helped to make the 68's a little more complete. BTW, John has made some cards for me at my request even though I am not a blogger and he doesn't know me from Adam.

What I don't like is only half the teams have team cards (no rhyme or reason), and there are fewer cards than the previous year (and almost no multi-player cards).Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514426675566670499.post-90394786197463280052019-01-08T09:02:56.484-05:002019-01-08T09:02:56.484-05:00Great info.
