Currently nibbling on the Browns, Senators/Twins, and the Padres. (I have yet to complete any set of combo missions after giving up on the Reds because I wanted to get done before PT 21 comes out...)

I'm actually only missing silver cards for the Browns. The problem is that they are priced like diamond cards. What is so special about Clint Courtney (70) that makes him cost 7k? I mean, the reward for the mission is probably worth it, but … whyyy? Is he part of another 50 missions? Because I'm not seeing it.

I have two of the Padres missions done; for the remainder I have hit the same snag as above: shed thousands and thousands for silver cards (Tony Gwynn) or buy the diamonds for the same price.

I am 1/5 on the Senators/Twins (but haven't filed away for my awesome (69) Kevin Tapani quite yet, although I can barely contain myself), and I am actually just nine cards short of perfect Johan, six of which could be eye-wateringly priced silver cards, although it does not seem quite as bad this time as with the other two sets. Still making a "meh" noise right now… getting a Boof Bonser (55) wouldn't hurt, either.

Having perfect Big Walt is of course a tremendous boost to the earliest mission in the set. Not that I have it complete…
