[QUOTE=mintacular;2010622]

Can anyone honestly say that you've built a vintage set (70s and older) brick by brick, lot by lot, filling in singles here and there, etc. and were able to later resell a complete vintage set HIGHER than the dollars you put into it?


It depends on when you built the set. I bought my first cards in 1954 and started building sets in 1958 so my Topps, Bowman, Leaf and Fleer sets (which I still have) would definitely bring a profit.
On the other hand the sets I'm working on today--T207, R306 Butter Cream, '53 Glendale to name three--will never be worth what I have in them in my lifetime.
