Card of the Set
Honestly, how could it not be?
Now for the Most Prolific Mustaches of the Set, but be warned, I did a very lazy job of checking the following totals. I would estimate that the following card totals are off by a plus/minus of thirty-seven (give or take a dozen or two (seriously, guys, I did not spend much time counting these cards)).
FIVE: Boggs made 6 appearances in the set
FOUR: Goose made 6 appearances in the set
THREE: Gibby made 7 appearances in the set
TWO: Robin made 8 appearances in the set
ONE: Eck walked away with the crown this year filling at least a baker's dozen slots in the Mustache binder.
The odd part is that there are a minimum of 5 more of his cards that didn't make the set.
Since I've basically run out of Hochevar cards to chase (at least ones that are within my price range), I need a new player to hone in on, so I'm officially becoming an Eckersley collector.
The guy knows how to rock a mullet and a mustache and a HOFer to boot. With over 2000 cards spanning four decades that I'll need to track down, I'm willing to trade for any and all Eckersley cards with which you are willing to part. I'm also excited to try tracking down my first HOFer trifecta (rookie, auto, relic).
Thanks for your support this MOvember and be on the look-out for an announcement tomorrow about the theme of the 2012 Mustache Set.

Good choice on Eck. He is one of those HOFers that is vastly under-collected.
Plus he is the only notable non-Yankee rookie in my birth year set (76 topps), so I have always liked the guy.
I will check and see what I can come up with for you.
