I have really enjoyed this thread. Very good perspectives to think about.I put together a NM set of 1965 &1966 Topps baseball. It took me 20 years to do it(talk about dedication).I collected Nm because I really believed I would stop working on the sets before I finished . I thought I would be able to get rid of everything much easier if the cards were nice.
But I did finish and am now working on 1967--this set is going to be EX-EXMT condition--scared of those high numbers!
I plan on keeping the cards another ten years or so before selling. But I have had a blast doing this. Also, it has kept me closer to my favorite sport.
I am working on a signed 1966 set , too. There are several of these cards that will never work with my budget. But I have worked on this set and only need 15 more cards signed!This project has been for fun(for me) than the regular issue sets.I certainly didn't think originally that I would take it as far as I have.
