Slightly similarly, when I got back into collecting, The monster caught my attention as well. I was also in a tough position, staring down an expensive 520 card set (excluding the big 4), and had two cards.

Some of the best advice given to me as I began the marathon, was to keep in mind that it was a marathon, and not a sprint. As you mentioned, the hunt is a huge part of the fun. Secondly, go after the HOF guys first - in the event you abandon the set, they are fairly easy to unload.

As far as buying lots, I am a huge fan of the BST here on 54. Also, pay attention to the auction houses; they will often have small lots up for auction, similar to the ones you describe.

Polar Bear is a fun subset to attempt. No combo is massively difficult. But it will take time and effort (aka fun) to put all together. It’s 250 cards total and includes a nice snapshot of the HOF in the set.

I would say keep the Nap. Sell the Griffith. Unless that kind of condition fits into the set you envision building.
