Thanks to Rhett for making a trade with me to help me out with finishing off this set! I'm now only 2 cards away from the finish line (of known C52's):

4b Dick Hyland BOX
8b Packy McFarland BOX

If anyone has these available, let me know! Even if they aren't duplicates for you, maybe I can make a trade in your favor to help me finish this off??

Thanks!

Does anybody have a scan or source for the Packey McFarland cards existence? I'm working on the C52 set casually as an extension of the T218 master set i'm building. Between the PSA pop report, friends in the hobby, auctions and my own cards this is the only one I've never seen or heard of anyone actually having that's on the current checklist.

The cards that have 2 fronts for 1 card number do seem to be even tougher than the others, and I'd imagine there's a couple others out there that haven't even been checklists yet.

Here's the scan of mine, so I can confirm this, and I believe I know of at least one other complete set besides mine. So it certainly does exist!

Thanks for showing! A complete set is one heck of an achievement

Thanks - they're definitely hard to come by, but often people who have them don't list them as such, so it's the searching which can take a while. Mine range from cards with holes in them to PSA 8 - gotta take what you can find with most of these!

One of my favorite sets. Beautiful artwork, very scarce to find in any grade but not expensive. I’ve been picking up low grade examples for under $10, less when I can find them listed as T218’s or something else. I’m up to 21 now but can’t imagine achieving a full set. I don’t think I’ve seen more than 10-15 examples of any single card.
