That's awesome that you were able to complete your 1971 set for a net of $11. I have been considering taking this approach with my next set. My biggest fear is that I know myself too well...I think I'll be good with buying the lots, it's the selling off of duplicates that I would drag my feet on. I already have a closet full of stuff (including some old cards) that "I'll eventually get around to selling on ebay". Some of that stuff has been there for years
