Since you brought up the possibility - there are a number of really beautiful sets from the 1950s that can be put together in collector grade for a relatively modest amount of money. 1953 Bowman Color is probably a good example - great pictures, no cards that will break the bank, and as long as he focuses on lower-grade cards, he could probably get some really nice pictures that are technical downgrades [e.g. centering or corners].
