Just finished my 1972 Pirates Team set in PSA 8 or better. The last card #228 was a toughie. I am focused on getting my 61 Pirates team set done this year as I only need 3 cards of which 1 is tough (Game 1 WS card).

I completed the '72 set in NM (raw) about 15 years ago. Interestingly, the last card to complete that set was #229- I had the hardest time finding that card in NM condition, and this was in the era of lots of card shows and plenty (actually mostly) non-graded stuff. I just could never seem to find card #229 in NM condition. I finally bought a slightly O/C one just to complete the set.

I just looked at the Pop report for card #229, and it looks like that should not be a difficult card. I'm curious- do you recall having any difficulty in finding that card in PSA 8? I just remember looking forever for that card and not being able to find it.
