I just acquired one of the set's Top 4 cards after Pete Rose $1500 and Mickey Mantle $600, Roberto Clemente $500 and Willie Stargell $500 round out this set's key cards. With the recent acquisition of Willie Stargell's RC, I now have all but Pete Rose RC, which I don't plan to ever get. Up until just recently, Stargell's RC was listed at $120, but jumped to $500 along with other big names recently. I'm not one to jump onto price jumps (fads), but Stargell #553 has been selling as though it were worth $500 for the past decade--now it's official. Since it was already overpriced, the card sales haven't really jumped in price much yet. I got this one for $94.27 after all shipping and taxes. To round out my set, I also purchased another overpriced high-number Rookie Stars #549. This brings my total set count to 556 of 576 (missing 20 cards). I fully expect to be able to acquire 19 of the 20 (except P. Rose). The biggest missing name is now Curt Flood $40. My overall 60's decade count is now 64 cards short of completion from 4 different sets.
