Default The Set Builder Slog.... 1953 Bowman Edition

Almost four years ago I started by journey of putting together a 1953 Bowman Color set. I was getting back into the hobby and just LOVED how the colors popped and the simplicity of the design. The set is awesome!

What started out as just putting together a raw set became a quest to put together a nice mid-grade PSA set which has now evolved to wanted to build a top 20 registry set... (yes I am one of the suckers that am chasing overpriced high grade commons...)

My question to the other set builders out there is how do you handle the slog which comes towards the end of building a set? I am three cards away from completing the set (#112, 128 & 129). It has probably been 5 months since I bought anything.

What do you do?

- Do you bit the bullet and just buy something overpriced from Dean or another one of the high dollar BIN eBay sellers?

- Start working on another set?

- Just be patient and wait?
