So my wife (girlfriend at the time) was actually ok with me keeping the set, but I felt like it was the right thing to do, as we were investing in our first home together. The set took me just under 1 year to complete (obviously I wasn't to picky), the vast majority bought on eBay with some lots here and there from dealers online (t206.com...? Mike Wheat...? Don't overly remember the sites).
Didn't think the set would necessarily still be together, more just curious what path it took and when. I can say the second attempt is going great. Have an emphasis on off-backs which I feel makes for great viewing (especially in the 20 card pages)...the best part this time around is now I've got a little mini me who's probably more into playing/watching/collecting baseball than I ever was at his age!
