Set Builder

Jeff,

I am primarily a collector of individual sets. I completed a base '57 Topps set and didn't find it too difficult. However, eBay has changed and it will be more difficult to pick up lots in today's market. I completed the set by picking up larger lots of cards, upgrading where needed & then selling duplicates. The biggest issue with collecting a set by buying individual cards is the aggregate shipping costs you will have to pay by the time you are done completing a set. In addition, it is more difficult to collect high grade '50's Topps sets since most high-grade cards are split out, graded and sold individually.

It can be a long process. I agree with the previous poster....complete the base set first and then go after variations.

Have fun either way.

Regards,

MWheat
