I am hoping to get some opinions regarding the value of sets being completed vs near completed.

The reason I ask is that I am rounding out a 1933 Goudey set and will soon be at 98ish%. The remaining 2ish% consists of the most expensive cards, 4 Ruth’s and 2 Gehrig’s.

Outside of the shoulda, coulda, woulda thoughts I am having knowing these were readily available a year ago at half of today’s price… I am now considering picking up the balance of the cards. I know that will be an expensive endeavor as they have doubled in price over the last year.

Let’s assume that the current prices will remain steady for the foreseeable future meaning waiting for a dip to round out the set isn’t a realistic option.

Do you think value wise, it behooves the over all value of the set to be at 100% and does having the remaining cards increase the total value more than the individual value of the cards themselves?

Thank you for reading.
