You may have come up with the best answer thus far. The 1954 Blossom Dairy Charleston Senators of John's that you cited certainly fits what I was looking for.
There are 22 cards in the set. John has a COMPLETE set of all 22 and there has only been 23 total graded. Thus if you subtract out John's 22 in the set there is only one other card from the set graded!! A Sam Hairston.
My definition of a truly rare set!! This could not be topped unless there is a complete set with no other cards from that set being graded!
What prompted me to think about this is whether or not I should get my complete set of 64 1959 Dad's Cookies cards graded. Currently there has only been 28 cards from this set graded.

If it's for "bragging rights" go for it! You'll have the only complete set on the registry - definitely, something to brag about (though you could probably brag about having the only complete set off the registry right now!)
If it's to attempt to enhance value to ultimately sell them, I wouldn't grade the whole set - only the better players who have player set following.
