I think you're probably still selling it short. I contemplated a PSA 4 set, but based on my math you're spending $65k for Ruths alone ($20k for the yellow, $15k apiece for the others. A pair of Gehrigs will add another $15k. Two Foxx's will add $8k. $2k apiece for the Otts
You'll run $1k apiece for the bigger HOFers (Vance, Dean, Hornsby X2, Speaker, Gehringer, Grove etc.) A few of the commons will be in the same ballpark (Berg, Bengough). Let's call it $10k for the big name HOFers
Lower tier HOFers are in the $600-750 range (Lundgren, Hoyt, Hubbell, etc.). If there are 20 low tier HOFers, you're adding $12k-15k.
I think $300 is probably closer to the average price for the true common cards. It we say there are 200 commons, that puts you at $60k for commons alone.
All in, by my math, a PSA 4 graded set will be somewhere around $175k, without Lajoie. Obviously deals can be found, but I don't think I'm too far out of line.
