I don't care if he gets $10,000 or $30,000. When all is said and done we will both have some great fun coming from collecting cardboard pictures of ballplayers.
To me. there is no value in buying a complete set in midgrade. The resale would be poor and there's no fun in that.
Just my thoughts.

I think the the exclamation point for the end of the vintage era was the advent of complete sets being available for purchase in April. I have never bought a complete set in my life. As a collector I see no "thrill of the hunt" there. I suppose if I was going to buy a set and bust it up for re-sale that would be one thing, but as a collector i would give a major "thumbs down".
