Don't do Ramly. I was thinking about starting it early next year! haha.

Kiya- all three are incredibly difficult. T3 may be the only one that doesn't have a group of impossible cards. However, it is a very expensive set to complete in reasonably nice condition. The T204 can be completed without the square border cards, but if you include those it will be extremely hard to finish. And as Jim pointed out, the Mello Mints may not even be possible. You can find cards like the Knight anytime, but you can't find all the tough ones.

You should do the T3s as based on your Goudey story I think you would get very frustrated with the other two.

Try the 1980 Topps! much less frustrating.

Also, wanted to chime in that the BIN phenomenon extends to post-war as well...picked up a handful of things lately, much of which went off at auction for prices that were closer top 50% of BIN listings.

Interesting commentary about the named sellers on this thread. I would generally agree with everyone's comments. Yepbg sounds like the Soup Nazi, but without a unique premium product, that barking strategy should fail in the long run (and the short and intermediate runs as well).

Either the T3 or the T204 seem like a fantastic next choice, but both too financially daunting for my personal tastes. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Maybe I will try and do all three. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I look forward to participating on the board more often.

I can't resist another plug for the E90-1 set. 120 cards, great images, unique poses, and lots of hall of famers. There are about six levels of difficulty and the Jackson and the scarce HOFers (Wagner-throwing, Young-Cleveland, Walsh, Duffy, and Speaker) will set you back plenty, but they are available with a little perseverance. Best of luck in your next endeavor.
