My MS Franklin half album: Complete today

Well, I went to a show today and completed my Franklin half album. I bought the two best 49 halves they had there, a proof 63 and a 64 Kennedy for it. I still have 3 open spots at the end if I end up finding some interesting ones down the road that I want to add. I might keep an eye out for toners and I can't rule out upgrading a couple here and there. But I can say I have a full set now.

Been working on it since about 2009 on and off. This set spent a lot of time on the back burner. I noticed my standards grew higher the further along I got into it. A few are crack outs with the labels on the back cover, but most were purchased loose. I wanted some NGC, PCGS FBL examples mixed in to compare with the loose ones I bought.
