Financially speaking, it is better to buy complete sets and upgrade. However, it isn't as much fun. It just depends on what your set building motive is: for fun or take money.

Better off buying complete sets especially if the more expensive cards are in decent shape. If I had to do it over again I wouldn’t worry about complete sets. I would buy the Mantle/Mays/Aaron in as high of a grade as one can afford and also buy high grade high numbers and short prints. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck!!
