Set Builders
I agree with the majority on here. It is definitely cheaper to buy sets than to build. Shipping costs are a killer for individual cards or lots. When collecting a particular set, I almost always go that route. For me, key cards were not in the condition I typically wanted and I have always had to replace a lot of the key cards - particularly the Mantles. In addition, most sets aren't master sets (if you collect master sets) and variations aren't included. Although I don't collect master sets, it is fun collecting some of the key variations like the mid series gray back cards in '52 Topps which are extremely rare.
