Default T206 near set on REA - was it cheap?

Posted By: Bob

I'm with Andy on this one. A set should sell for more (or at least equal to) the sum of its parts but sadly it doesn't. Time, trouble, constant searching, etc. Having put together the T207 set (twice) card by card and nearing completion of the M116 monster set card by card and having put together other killer sets in the past such as the E97, P-2, all 3 Obak sets, and E90-1, I can tell you the cost of buying cards separately, looking for the nicest one you can or settling for what you can find on the rare ones, has become prohibitive. Busting up sets for break value is commonplace and sets sell for far less than the sum of their parts, almost without fail. I am curious of Leon thinks that even his Western Playground set fetched less than he would have made had he sold them individually.....Leon?
