Default Seeking set building advice

I have been collecting and building sets 1952-72 for over 25 years in a random and unfocus manner. As a result I have no complete sets, but many within reach. I've decided to get more serious about completing a few, but in order to do that I think I need to abandon and sell off a couple of my "in progress" sets to fund the others. I'm willing to give up on 1955 Bowman, 1962 Topps and 1968 Topps. I would guess that these sets are 75% complete with many of the stars present. I just don't like the wood-grain or burlap borders as I once did. If you had to choose, which set would be best to sell off at this time?

Default 1968 v 1962

I have both sets and like the 62s better so on that basis I'd keep them, but if you dislike both and only want to sell one, the 62's, depending on condition, will likely get you more money for building your other sets

Agreed. I sold a bunch of commons from different years from the 60's and the 62's sold much better than any of the others.

"at this time", not sure if you are suggesting one would hold more value in which case I said there is not too much difference...I think the '68 set is based more on the Ryan and Bench Rcs....might want to list both and see which one sells for a reasonable BIN and so the decision will be made for you...
