Good discussion here so far.
I definitely could see the point. As the fun to me is the chase of getting the cards to complete the set.
A while back I put together a 1956 topps set, had it for about 6 months complete, then decided to sell it as the fun of working on it outweighed owning it.
Now, for some reason, due to collecting as a kid in the 80's, I am completely content with keeping my 1980's sets because once in a while for nostalgia reasons, I like flipping through the sets.
Another thing I could suggest since Prewar HOF's are hot, you could not only pick up some key 1950's graded rookies/HoF's -- but, also some prewar -- if that interests you, maybe picking up some T206 HOF's, etc. Now obviously the grades would be lower, if you're looking for the same value of the postwar key cards.
