Yes, I've done this. I had a 522 set of T206. I sold all of my binder cards (about 450 cards) and a Cobb Red/ Lenox SGC 2. I only kept my back runs, My Cub HOFs, and a few of the biggest stars in the set. I bought a Cobb/ Cobb back. I never tried to rebuild the set, either. I just went off and collected other cards that I liked. I have fewer than 200 cards today, but I much prefer the ones that I still have.
Edited to add: To be clear, the cards that I sold only covered 1/3 of the cost of the Cobb. The rest came from savings and a 401K loan.
