Collecting the other 12 Amazin's is good enough for the '69 Seaver SE.

And you have the other 5 non-Mets cards that qualify since they were part of the Miracle / Amazin' Mets 1969...And the other 3 Tom Seaver cards in case all 12 is 1,2,3 too much.
I have the diamond Seaver, which I once bought from the auction house. It was up at a manageable price just after I had pulled a perfect Bryce Harper (almost barfs) that hadn't sold for two or three days. Quick-sold the Harper and two other cards, bought Seaver for, if I remember right, 23,500 back then. He is worth more now (north of 35k I saw) for obvious reasons.

And I think I also saw the special Seaver on the auction house at one point, and he is not really *better* than the diamond Seaver…

But this is about HAVING it.
