The problem for my fellow "set builders" is, it's always cheaper to buy the full set than it is to put a set together card by card. And buying the full set ruins the fun of "The Hunt".
example: I was recently offered 48 of the 50 cards in the 1910 T220 Mecca boxing set for under six bucks a card, (missing the two expensive cards in the set featuring John L Sullivan). So I bought the near set of 48 cards, and during a "eBay Bucks" offer, I picked up both Sullivan cards I needed from the same seller.
So yeah I completed the T220 Mecca boxing set in a week, and it's a great set. But I just "broke out the checkbook" and missed out on "The Hunt".
