Would you want to buy a complete vintage set?
With some of the high grade complete or near complete sets coming up
for auction soon if you had (or have) the money would you want to buy a comlete set of your favorite vintage cards at one time? Personally for me alot of the fun is in the hunt buying them a few here and there, not that it wouldn't be nice, but it would be a one shot and mission accomplished. I know with some of the rare sets it's probably the only way you could complete them. |

If I had the money. I would buy a T206 complete set and have fun selling some of the common backs and upgrading to rarer backs.

For me it's all about the journey. I would never purchase a complete set, but to each his/her own.

I'd rather collect a set one-by-one, did it with t206 cards and it was a great feeling when I reached my goal. That being said, I started buying Old Judge cards afterwards and if I had a chance to buy a whole player set, along with the money to do it(I'd love to know where this part is coming from) I would definitely buy the whole set because there are players that just don't ever show up. I recently bought two cards at the same time that are on the "very scarce" list from the Miller/Masson/Gonsowski book and that felt like a huge accomplishment.
Collecting sets is much more fun and gratifying than buying complete ones
