I'm just curious because I hear that it's a smaller size set and it's not very popular with collectors so maybe the overall price isn't crazy (at least for a early 50's set).

I had the 52 B set about 75% complete and then I recently purchased the entire set minus the Mantle for $1250....once I find a lower grade Mantle, my cost for the 52 B set will be about $1500-1600 in midgrade shape. My cost would have been the about the same if I had continued to finish the last 25% of the 52 B set via buying small lots and singles. The $1500 for a GD-VGEX 56 set is spot on as that is what it cost me to originally build my 56 T set in that shape. Over the years I have upgraded my 56 set significantly.
