The only prewar set I've tried to put together was the 1933 Sport Kings, partly because it's only 48 cards. Focused on getting the Ruth first, which was going for about $700-$800 in low grades then. Kept just missing out on auctions and every time I did, I used some of the money to get other cards in the set. Next thing I know, I've got 46/48 and still no Ruth, which by then was going for $1500+. I gave up and spent the past two years selling most of the set to fund a few single cards that I'd rather have. I only kept Cobb and Jimmy Doolittle.
