I just started this set. Builds from scratch are very rare for me, but the '50 Bowman may be my favorite set to look at.
Decided that I wanted only clean mid-grade cards from top to bottom, because this is going to be a special part of my collection. No wrinkles (except for possibly those close to the corner small diagonal ones) and nice surfaces.
Was ready to be as patient as necessary. But, go figure, the perfect Jackie for the set's goals showed up right away (and went for the right price). Sometimes I love BVG 5s and the steep slab discount you get for the great cards that might be in them, and that's what happened. It's on its way.
So, now I'm at 6/252
Also have Yogi, Rizzuto, Parnell, and two commons.
