Nice, I'll eventually get around to purchasing the John Herrnstein rookie as well.

I'm finishing up my 1966 set, 37 cards remaining.  I finally broke down at the beginning of the year and bought the Grant Jackson.  I think it was $125, but a REALLY nice one, well-centered and great color.  I kept hoping I'd stumble across one for $50 -$70 that I'd be happy with but the few in that price range were always beat-up. 

Good Luck!

Is the Jackson so expensive because it's a high number?  I can't think of another explanation, but that logic would make all the high # commons expensive.

David - I can't figure out why it sells for so much. It's crazy!

Because 4 types of collectors chase the cards   Set builders,   Phillies team builders, Dodgers team builders  and they last  The people that are called ROOKIE CARD Collectors.  I know it not they confussing Grant for Reggie

Being a Hi number these cards where mostly bought by dealers in Sept  as the retail stores wanted Football Cards. Philadelphia gum if NFL city.  I had to save my money and send to a dealer in Southern Calif.  I think  it was KIT YOUNG  and buy the 7th series. If I wanted to break that up what a great   $3.75 investment.

The '66 Shirley/Jackson card is on my wantlist because Shirley is part of a team that played in the World Series. These are the kind of cards that really sting needing to get. Not quite as bad as the '63 Rose rookie card though. Technically I need 3 of them for my collections. Pedro Gonzalez for the '63 Yankees (World Series team), Ken McMullen for the '63 Dodgers (World Series team) and Rose himself for the Rookie of the Year collection. It would only be worse if I was a White Sox collector instead of a Cubs collector since the 4th on the card is Al Weis of the White Sox. Phew! Dodged a bullet there... only need 3 Rose rookies instead of 4.

I looked at this list before and maybe just didn't believe the Grant Jackson thing. Just veriifed it on eBay. That is mind-blowing. I don't understand it at all. And now I just wish that he'd been a rookie in 1964 or that I had been born in 1967. Since I'm doing the all-sets-to-birth-year thing. Someday, many years from now, I'll be hunting this card. And I will be bitter about it. Getting all the high numbered 1970, 1971 and 1972 commons was painful enough....

I know the pain of being able to afford the 1966 and 1967 7th series cards.  I'll probably never complete my Mets in those years.  If I had known as a kid, I would have kept buying the baseball packs. But by the time the 7th series came out I was buying the newly released football.

The Jackson/Shirley card was bought up by one particular dealer with too much money and time on his hands and them made (even more) scarce and put out of reach of most regular collectors.

'66 and '67 High numbers have just gone bonkers the last 8 months.  After I reaped the rewards of the Topps Project 2020 bubble at the end of May last year, I decided it was time to finish my '67 set.  When I started out, most commons in the '67 high numbers were in the $15-20 range for NrMt versions.  Now you can't get a common NrMt for less $50, and the short-print commons are even more insane.  The Red Sox team card is $150-$200 bucks in those upper mid-range levels.  People are buying up the nicer versions to get them graded, and that's driving the entire price structure for '66 and '67 high numbers.

Nobody ever does a "Least Wanted Phillies" list.

Since there were some references in previous comments:
I finally got the "Herrnstein" RC - it's actually better known as the Stargell RC. A couple of nice sales here fueled that purchase.
I did create a "Least Wanted Phillies" user list for David (RIP). I have since deleted it as the only purpose was to give David some humor.

Also, when I first created this list, there were 1955 Topps & Bowman, 1954 Topps & Bowman, and a few 1951 Bowman cards on it, which are now done. The 1951 Bowman finisher (Ashburn, no less!) was special thanks to Jason, who gifted it to me. I am still touched by his generosity.
