My cards are mostly 10s and AUs with a few nicer ones.

My E97 set (without Young and Sullivan variations) cost $8250 to put together.

My E94 set minus Wagner has cost $5600, but I had a lot of luck there.

My E98 set minus Cobb, Mathewson and Wagner has cost only $1200 so far, so another $3K + there for the set.

These were all put together within the last five years. The E98s came earliest, before the big jump in prices, but most of the 94s and 97s were bought in the midst of the boom, which seems to have leveled out

Conclusions? You could do it for a little less than those figures if you buy opportunistically when you see good buys.
