I'm finally getting around to sharing my latest completed project. The Jim Brown Basic Set. I got the final piece, the 66 Philly, about a week ago, thanks to Scott (ssollars) who let me choose between a pair! Thanks Scott!
It was fitting that the 66 was the last card I needed, since the 58 was the first. This was one of my side projects. So when I couldn't find things for my mains, I'd so a Brown search, and gradually picked away at it.
The 62 was the toughest for me to find at a decent look/price ratio. And in the end the 66 was actually seeming tough to find with decent centering...but again, thanks to Scott, that was remedied quickly...and this one can be put to bed.
Thanks for reading.

Great set! The 58 is just so Iconic ,it sure seems J.Brown never took a bad picture.
Looks like topps got a little lazy in 62 just recycle 61.

ETA: Koufax?
Steve - Koufax is one. Mantle, Clemente, Aaron and Banks are the others.
Finding acceptable 77 and 79 Staubach cards has proved quite the challenge too. I won't pay for 9s and I've yet to find a 7 or an 8 that I like...but that's a bit of a side project too right now.
My focus lately has been completing my pack and raw set run from 71-80, and chipping away at the basic player sets.
There's never a shortage of things to look for.
