The final card for the set arrived in the mail today. Hank Aaron IA #300. It was tough to find and it wasn't centered too well, but this has been a bear for me to find. Thanks to all the other board members that helped me with the set! Especially Brett(YMarea) for many of the cards. TigerDean also helped me fill a tough card with a nice trade. Antoher Ebayer/I think board member sent me several PSA 8 1972's for free. I don't have his name, but if he is reading thank you!!
I just bought this Rob Gardner off of Brett and he threw in the Rod Carew IA card. (WHAT A GUY!) 6-7-10 Brett strikes again with a 1972 Ray Culp PSA 8.
I'm also going to picture some of the tougher cards I've recently purchased. Like Ed Spiezio in PSA 8, and upgraded to PSA 9. Ted Abernathy was also a tough one for me to find.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for any of the cards you need. '72 has always been my favorite set. I've never been crazy about the psychadelic (sp?) design, but the set holds for me the fondest memories. With its wide array of stars and myriad subsets, there is so much to like.
The Gardner is certainly tough to find in 8 or better. When I submitted that one I never expected a 9 because of the L/R centering, and believe the card belongs in an 8 holder. Still, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth!
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but the tilt on that Michael is really dizzying. It was so bad that I wasn't sure if it was simply a severe tilt or a diamond cut. I had to study it for quite some time before I was convinced that it would get slabbed. I'm glad I sent it in. Its a pretty nice-looking card if you focus on the picture and keep away from the borders.
I picked up a great Red Sox Team in PSA 8, near perfect centering, but it had two creases over the S in Sox. I also had some marks and specs on a Cardenal, Menke, and Ted Williams, so I'm at 20 to complete the set. Anyone want to sell or trade let me know.
The 72 set was my favorite set from my childhood, I bought a ton of packs in 72 but very few survived in good enough condition to be graded 30+ years later.
Good luck on finishing up your set in PSA 8 or better.
Here is my latest addition.

Thanks
I received a very nice Steve Carlton today. It's SGC 8.5. Besides some very light dings on the right side, it's GORGEOUS!
Even with the dings it's one of the best I have.

Happy to get one more off the list and this might have been the toughest one for me to find in PSA 8.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Beautiful -- Nice job!
