    why is that a 2? Does it have a crease or pencil? It looks more like a 4 or 5 at first glance.

    I've always loved this set. I don't have any of them but a friend of mine when I was a kid had a bunch. I always thought I might try to pick up some once i complete a few other sets I am working on.

    Hi Ed - do you have vintage football? I'm working on completing a few sets from the 50s and 60s. Richard

    All those guys strung out on coke, Straw, Doc, Keith, HoJo - they ruined their careers and they could have been a 10-year dynasty. Sad.

    I don't remember Mike Scott on the Mets. He was a real Mets killer on the Astros. Almost single-handedly kept the Mets from winning the 1986 pennant.

    But he was so terrible on the Mets. A strikeout machine, especially with men on base. God those early 80s Mets teams were bad. Remember Neil Allen?

    Ray was a friend of mine. I used to play poker with him before he was a star.

    Could you even imagine a pitcher like Robin Roberts in today's game? Think about this - six years in a row in the 1950s he pitched over 300 innings. It would take 12 years for the best starting pitchers today to equal that, and 90% of them have burned out before they even get to 12 years. And...

    PS - I only need 30 to complete. Knocking off the commons first before concentrating on the missing stars.

    I think what I really like about this set is they remind me of Monopoly deeds. They must have been designed with that in mind.

    Ken Willard was a good solid fullback, racked up over 5000 yds - which got me to thinking about how and when the RB position transitioned away from fullbacks to halfbacks. Little, Csonka, Harris, Campbell were still in the FB mold. By the time ED came around in the mid 80's, FBs were vanishing...

    But at some level you admit you could have picked up at least a couple of gu/autos of players you like for what you spent on breaking.
