Is it Worth Piecing a 2003 Bowman Heritage Facsimile Set Together?
 
I know there's the collecting joy in assembling a set piece by piece, I've done that with other sets and most recently with my 53 Bowman set which I can't seem to leave well enough alone as I keep finding cards to upgrade.

I have the Bowman Heritage baseball sets, except for their offshoots. I really like the knothole design of some of the cards in the 2002 Bowman Heritage set. A while ago I picked up a lot of the facsimiles which totaled about half of the set. However, no one carries them locally in the L.A. County area where I live with the exception of Burbank Cards, and that's email only. This isn't a high demand set and it doesn't sell for big money on eBay. Is there a source where I can find the missing cards cheaply or wait until I find a complete set, hopefully cheaply as well.

I thought Burbank re-opened at least on a limited basis for retail. You might want to check with them and if possible go visit in person

Thank you. I live about 40 miles from the store and it would be difficult to convince my wife of the necessity of going shopping at a card shop these days. Ebay and this website have been my connections to the collecting world since mid-March. We have Jimmy's USA on Sunday's here in Whittier where I used to go pre-COVID19. They have no Bowman Heritage singles, however. I might have to put a wanted ad on Blowout.
