I have decided to take on the very long-term task of building a '52 Topps set (pretty much out of the blue this evening). Beyond the obvious reasons, this epiphany also hit because:
- Making a slow-paced lifetime project out of it will be a fun challenge
- The set is one of the very few that may actually be cheaper to put together piece by piece. The few complete sets that you see are vastly overpriced, and I don't want to consider a 50 k outlay at once anyway.
- Already have Berra, Feller, Hodges, and about a dozen commons. Almost there eh, so why not finish it off
Will likely attempt doing it low (but no awful beaters) to borderline mid-grade, and just look for the best deal on everything in that range.
Has anyone else here taken this on? How has it gone compared to your expectations?
