Is It Worth Completing A 1960 Leaf Set?

If you are a full on set collector, and you feel it is a whole in your collection and you like the set, then it doesn't matter that the players aren't big names and might not be worth much fiscal gain in the future.

If you are an investor, skip the Leafs.

I have done the set and like it. I ended up with one unopened pack from each series. Besides the Lawrence/Grant variation there are 3 variants of the Hal Smith Cardinals card, 4 if you count the the prototype card. The Smith variants and the 8 “big portrait” prototypes are pretty pricy.

I wanted the packs because of their unique marbles rather than gum

But agree it would not seem to be a great investment set

Some 1960 Leaf

Cool stuff Al...

I've debated this set many times over...and have passed. But the debate continues as I run out of Post War sets I'm interested in. I have never owned a 1960 Leaf, not one common. I plan on picking a couple up...see if they speak to me...lol. But for right now I just can't find the interest due to the high numbers. I can say this...if I change my mind, much like your self debate...I WILL have to complete the entire set. It's why I can't get into the 52 Topps...my OCD will not allow anything uncomplete.

You could lower your condition requirements for the second series. Then if you sell the set you can sell them separately because there is still a high enough demand for lower grade high numbers.

That's a good point Rick. Did you complete this set??
