I'm not a set guy, but I decided to casually put together a lower/mid-range graded 1933 Tattoo Orbit (R305) set in 2015. I picked up a random good looking one every now and then with a focus on the Cubs (9 of 15 snagged).
I put it on the shelf in 2020 when prices spiked. I had 26 out of 60 in hand. I had some of the HOF'rs, but I didn't have any of the heavy hitters...no Foxx, Hornsby, or Dizzy.
I sold off or traded all but 3 in 2022 because prices got insane and I had hadn't added any to my collection (aside from an upgrade) for a couple years anyway.
Weighing the potential cost of the 34 I still needed, especially Foxx/Hornsby/etc...I folded. If I already owned the big cards it may have been a different story.
