I've got a B-rated set of gage blocks I bought from Shars a while back.
Not great, but good enough for most of what I need them for. Sadly
somewhere along the way my .050 went missing. Its kind of important for
a whole range of measurements, but its gone. I'm sure its in my shop
somewhere... unless it got swept up and thrown away ... I don't want to
have to buy a-whole-nuther set for one lousy gage block. Does anybody
sell one off pick and choose fill in parts?

I filled out an incomplete set from an auction with individual
Mitutoyo blocks from MSC.

You don't think that a Mitutoyo will shrivel up and die wimpering in the
corner surrounded by all those cheap gage blocks?

Interesting that a Mitutoyo is the cheapest one they list in the size I
am missing. Not cheap by any means, but... I couldn't believe SPI cost
more.

No, the larger took command, appointed the other Sergeant, and they
keep the German blocks smartly polished and lined up in order.
