As primarily a set builder, the answer is yes. I have always liked 1954 Bowman, but when I look at the prices for Mantle, Mays, and Williams I decided to not build the set. I've built 1955, 1956, 1960, 1965, and 1968 through 1979. All of the sets in the gaps have expensive cards, but not three huge ones like '54 Bowman or any of the Topps sets between 1952 and 1954. My plan is to fill in the gaps in what I have completed and pivot to focusing on non-baseball sets that I think have interesting designs.
