I just came across this thread.
But I built a 1958 Topps set and sold it off a couple of years ago to fund a trip to Disney World for my wife and I. I think I paid $500 putting the set together in Ex to Ex-Mt, mostly through trading with the LCS. And I sold it for $1,500, so I tripled my money.
And I have since rebuilt it.
It cost more money than the first time because the LCS where I did most of my trading went under, and I've been buying most of them. Not many people want to trade for whatever reason. I'm again going for Ex-Mt to NM (strictly raw). The biggest thing is it's hard to find raw in that condition because most of it gets graded. And I don't deal in graded.
