The only set I'm currently working on completing is the 1953 Topps set. I am 41 cards short at this point.
What remains are SP cards which are somewhat pricy in the condition I prefer them in - EX/MT.
I am enjoying the 'hunt' too much to 'settle' for a lesser condition card just to finish up the set.
A few years ago, I finished Topps sets 1954-1980. Upon completion, I felt an emptiness...suddenly, the sets did not mean as much.
I sold all but the 1954-thru-1956 sets. I only started back with the 1953 set (I had previously amassed 175 of the 276 total cards) and have added another 60.
I am also trying very hard to stay with a budget on these...while working to pay of the two high-dollar pre-war cards I purchased in August.
I am not addicted...I can stop any time...
