I've read up on the Bartirome/Bartiromo saga.
It seems like just another of his typical scams that would quickly come and go. But if so, why are the Bartirome's still so artificially inflated? It's been over four years, and people still seem to panic to get one |

Don't take this to the bank, however, as I can't tell you how long ago it was that I read that, but I do recall reading it.

This thread has renewed my interest in starting from scratch again, a raw fair to vg 1952 topps set!!!
I assume it's best to get a nice starter lot first? But as was mentioned if you were to pick up each individual card, you would getting good value compared to other sets.

Because if your starting lot is something like 30 or 50 cards, then you can't buy many other lots going forward (yet you still have most of the way to go). Even that many will still have you looking at future similar lots (or even smaller ones) and usually realizing that since you already have 5 or 10 of the cards, it's not really worth it. Then you're already stuck getting singles or very small groups that occasionally fit the bill. I'm already in that spot; it doesn't take long. |

First major purchase for the set.....bought Don's '52 T Mays from the BST. BVG 3.5
I'm realizing already that there's no point in adhering to some of my expected "rules" for this project. Going to look at something, think "is this the xxx card that I want for the set at this price". Everything else is very secondary. Though the "no really bad beaters" will still stay. It's liberating to not have to think "never this this this or that" 104/407 |

Didn't plan it that way, but it's where the value has been w/ what I've found so far. Prefer it that way too |
