Hi Chris, that sounds like a great project. I also do team projects, sometimes mulit year projects. I completed an Oakland A's team project from 1971 - 1975 of all members on the playoff and WS rosters. I would say the best thing to do is do a little homework and see which ones of the 158 are real common and which ones are real hard. If you can't find any examples of a few being sold, call or email a reputable dealer and ask how often they come up for sale and approx how much they cost. Also, set aside some money for when those rare ones do become available. You may also want to determine what quality you're looking for, and expect to sometimes buy a couple of autographs of certain players...especially if you don't think you'll find another, and then you find one of better quality and you want to upgrade.
Good Luck and happy collecting!
