Finally. I FINALLY picked up the last card to finish off the '72 Mets team set. All I needed was a Tim Foli In Action, high number of course but whatever, I was prepared to pay the extra $2 it takes to reel those in.
Tim Foli, who gives a shit about Tim Foli cards, right?
Biggest pain in my ass I've encountered in cardboard in a long time.
For a little while, I wasn't finding any on the bay and beginning to doubt it's existence. Then, when they did start showing up, they were all graded and/or BINs for some ridiculous ransom.
But I stayed strong and finally nabbed the fucker for about $6 shipped. Maybe I still over payed by a buck or two but it was time to finish this off and it was better than the next cheapest option of over $15.
Anyways, here's the completer card which leaves me with only '70, '71 and '76 left to finish off the decade!

Completion is good. Congrats.
