Set building advice.
 

I recently purchased some early topps football sets, thank you to board member here. And a 71 baseball set. Which is financially better buy complete sets or lots , card by card??thank you guys octavio.

Financially speaking, it is better to buy complete sets and upgrade. However, it isn't as much fun. It just depends on what your set building motive is: for fun or take money.

Better off buying complete sets especially if the more expensive cards are in decent shape. If I had to do it over again I wouldn’t worry about complete sets. I would buy the Mantle/Mays/Aaron in as high of a grade as one can afford and also buy high grade high numbers and short prints. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck!!

thx mike good advice

I enjoy building sets by buying large lots of cards. I once put together a 1971 set at a net cost of $11. Sold it for $650. Bought large lots and sold off duplicates. It's a lot of work but it's fun to try and build a set for free.

This is the best method for building sets, I have used it for years and it has helped me to get to just 19 cards shy of the 1952-2010 Topps run

Great stories guys.
