This was easily one of my and my sons most favorite set to do.
As mentioned in prior posts, it can be done if you are not a stickler on grade, fairly easily.
However you MUST have patience.
For two reasons.
#1 to find the big ones at a price you can afford.
#2 for them to come up on eBay.

What I did was I went to Sportlots.com and bought what I could, and then the rest, I just patiently watched eBay.

I say do it!! It is a lot of fun.

PS: the above post is about the high #'s.
The regular set is a breeeeeeeze to do.

The 72 set was a blast to put together. As stated in the other posts you need to be patient on the high numbers.
I travel all over the country and I looked every place I was at. I even found cards at antique stores. It was a great way to spend my extra time while away from home.
The set did take about 3 years to complete in exmt condition.
Have fun and go for it!

I actually found a very low grade lot of four of the high numbers on sportlots and decided to pick it up "just in case" I ever wanted to put this set together. I would do it in Larry fashion as opposed to spending a ton of money of the cards. I paid less than $2 a card.

High Number and Low Grade…but Still on a High

Since this was the first set I remember buying in packs(I know I bought a few 71 packs) I always wanted to complete this set. I think I will go for it!
