I have 2 vintage sets. I bought a very nice complete 59 Fleer Ted Williams set from a fellow member a couple years ago. Then a year or so ago a fellow member asked if I wanted some junk era cards for free to look for error cards. Of course I said yes and thank you. I expected maybe a 400 count box, what I received for free blew my mind. I got a medium flat rate box completely full of cards.
That leads to my second set. In the box was a handful of 55 Bowman including several minor star and a few star player cards. So I made it a point to finish that beautiful set with cards buy buying only from fellow members. Still have about a dozen cards to go with the only big name left being the Aaron card.
Building the 55 Bowman set has been super fun but even with the stack of free cards and some great deals it would still have been cheaper to buy a complete set. That being said I will still build another vintage set when I am done with this one. The fun of piecing the set together has been worth way more than the extra price for me.
