the journey is the reward, but with this set buying it complete would only be the start. Backs and upgrades could take you forever and give plenty of opportunities for the hunt.

Financially it makes all the sense in the world. But if you buy a complete set, the usual best thing to do is to break it to maximize profit. That's some mighty fancy shootin' there, irony.

As a collector, buying a preassembled set should be reserved to the current year of Topps, IMO.
