I have been collecting Thurman Munson cards and oddball items for a while and started the master set this year. It has been a lot of fun and am looking forward to trying to find some of the tougher items on the list. Does anyone else collect Munson stuff or is currently going after the master set? What items did you find the most difficult to find?

I feel safe in saying that his toughest Topps "card", which I do not have, is the 1971 Topps Rookie Artist proof card. There may be only one. It is pictured in the SCD Standard Catalog
There have been rumors that his 1971 card # 5 can be found with his name in yellow .

I will also keep an eye out for the '71 Topps with his name in yellow. That is something that may fly under the radar and may appear on an ungraded beater. Now I know to check out any '71 Topps that I see.
The Milk Duds box and hand cut card are really tough. I have seen every other player in the set come up for sale but not Munson. There aren't as many Munson collectors compared to some of the other HOF'ers that appear in this set so it doesn't make sense. I guess the fun part is the search, right? lol

PaulMaul - That is an outstanding '71T Munson. Really nice eye appeal.

It seems that the name is usually in yellow. Perhaps there is a white letter variation?

Thanks, I love it. I searched for a really nice 7 for a long time!
