Thanks for starting this thread. I completed a '53Topps set a couple of years ago. I just love that set! Since then I stopped and started a few different sets. I really had given up on set building. However, I just get drawn back in. I have figured out that I was aiming a bit high in terms of condition, especially when I was trying to build sets card by card. Everyone of course is different with varying budgets. I really just want the cards. I am not buying beaters, but for me I have decided that vg or vgex is ok for me. I started looking for a set that I could handle. So, that has led me to '56 Topps, and I am really enjoying it! I am a little less than half way finished. I have bought a few stars here and there and some lots to get the commons and semi-stars cheaper. That has really kept my costs down and sped up my progress. I am having a good time!
