I'm getting back into collecting for the 3rd time now. As I grow older I find myself to enjoy the older cards more now. Prob because I have the money to spend on em now... Anyways i'm looking for a set to start collecting. I really like the look of the 56 topps but at a card show this weekend a guy had a great starter set of 57 topps all very nice looking cards. He had 200 + of the set for 1k. I like the fact that it's a nice looking starter set and for my first set this may be the way to go. I'm the type of collecter that I want nice cards.. not the type that collects fuzzy corners just to say I have a set of blah blah. Anyone got any input to throw at me I'd appreciate it. The 57 set was selling at 1k booking at 2700 ish.
Thanks for ur time,
Steve
