PSA compete sets
 

Posted By: <b>Neil</b><p>Hello,<br /><br />It seems to me that after reading multiple boards this is where the real experts chat. I have recentl soldmy buisiness and I have been intersted in set building for along time. BOth as an investment as well as a hobby. My question is simple. THe first seti am trying to complete is the 1970 Topps in all PSA grade 9. My question is this is this set worth more after I complete it, or is a set worth more broken up. I have bought and broken a few raw sets in my time and always made more breaking them. But from what I see it seems a completed high grade set is worth more as a whole on the high end auction circuit. I figured this would be the best place to get some advice. <br /><br />Thanks in advance for letting me become part of your world<br /><br />Neil

I believe the high $ complete sets that have sold at auction recently have been primarily pre-war sets and would be much tougher to put together than a high-grade 1970 Topps set.

The extra work will pay off in the long run.<br /><br><br>Frank
