I also think, and this is a difficult concept for many people, is if you want to make a profit for building a set then:
BUY THE KEY CARDS 1st. The odds are the best cards in the set will continue to go up in price or hold their value while the easiest cards will have minor increases or none at all. The easier cards will also be a bit more available both in the short and long run.
So if you are going to build a 57 Set from scratch as Pat Mentioned; These would be the 1st 10 cards I'd buy (this list is not in order but just names coming to my mind instinctively) : Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Bunning RC, Brooks Robinson RC, Frank Robinson RC, Mantle/Berra 407, Dodgers Sluggers 400, Colavito RC and Ted Williams. We can disagree on a card or two within this list but you should get this gist.
The sooner you purchase the key cards, the better off you are if your goal is turn the set into a profit venture.
