Used some of this downtime to make a better log and organize more. Realized that there are two '52s that I just cannot use, and one that was accidentally duped.
As I went more meticulously through these, I found that I am plenty satisfied with the overall presentation factor/eye appeal of the set so far.
The average condition of the stars/high numbers is 4.2, and it's 2.5 for the commons. Close to what I'd assumed. Graded by both TPGs and my own fairly critical eye (not ebay "grades")
Estimated each resale value too, not BVs.
All this confirms the so far, so good feel I've had about it all. It's nice to feel some positivity in the midst of everything, even for something that obviously pales in comparison to what's important in the world at the moment.
Total cost so far: $2740. Total resale value: $3795
