It took 2 years and 4 months but I just got the final card I needed for my 1966 Topps high number run. It was easy when I needed all 92 cards but the last 4 took around 8 months. Card #544 (Cardinals rookies, a known tough one) was the final card.
Here are some highlights:

    92 cards? The 1966 Topps 7th Series is 77 cards, #523-#598 and the #517 Checklist (W. Sox version).

    Interesting. The checklist shows cards numbered 507-598 but I don't see the first bunch on the uncut sheet. It did seem those first few were easy to acquire and seemed cheaper than the others.

    Thanks - this was a fun project. My favorites to acquire were Choo Choo Coleman, Horace Clarke and the rookie cards of Grant Jackson and Dave Johnson. The Twins and Tigers cards were pretty challenging as well.
