Thanks for all the info, very fascinating. The fact that they're beat up is something I really like about them and probably the main reason why they're so cheap even though they're so rare. Knowing now that the 68's are hard to come by I'm feel fortunate that I have 12 of the 17 possible in the team set. Here's how I'm looking so far...
1959: 2 of 12
1960: 12 of 12
1962: 4 of 9
1964: 16 of 17 (Just missing the Aaron)
1966: 14 of 18
1967: 1 of 5
1968: 12 of 17
There are some 59's on ebay that I don't have, but they're all slabbed and he's asking for WAY more than I can spend. The same can be said for the 68's. Right now there are 3 of the 4 that I don't have on ebay, but again, the seller is asking for WAY more than I can spend. So, there's hope that I can come close to completing the sets. Hopefully when my tax return rolls around they'll still be available and the seller's will be willing to swing some deals.
