Evening all, haven't had a cricket mailday for a while, time to dust off the cobwebs :D

I've been working on the 1967 Scanlens Krazy Kricket set for the last 2-3 years and finally found the last card I needed a few weeks ago to complete the 68 card set.

This is the 2nd Scanlens cricket set produced (released 2 yrs after the inaugural 1965 set of 40 cards), and is easily the rarest and most difficult to complete of any Scanlens cricket cards, even though it is probably their least pleasing on the eye. I have a few doubles if anyone is interested, but here are pics of the full set of 68:

And to make it even better I was lucky enough to track down an original 1967 wrapper to go with the set :kick::

I also upgraded the 2 creased cards I had in my 1965 set of 48 cards to finish it off properly:

And here's the 1965 Scanlens wrapper to go with it :):
