Lee PlummerI do happen to own a t206 of Emil Batch, several 51 Topps Red Backs, but the bulk of my collection is from 70 on up. I am also working on a 68 Topps set in PSA 8 or better. My problem is not so much funds, but the fact I collect in set form. Putting $10+ a week into say the graded 39 Williams will not keep me from buying other cards. However, dropping $900 to $1500 for an ungraded one would, and for quite some time.
Everyone collects differently, we all know that. What may be within your qualifications may not make mine. Eye appeal is most important to me, so my problem lies in finding cards that match what I am willing to purchase within my price range. I also have a problem with letting cards go after I get them. I do understand what your saying about collecting the commons, would be a great way to peicemeal a set together.
By the way, nice collection there.
