The hunt is great but when you piece it together card by card, you almost always will pay more. Then the upgrading will cost you exponentially more. With unlimited funds, I would buy the set all the time.....regardless of the set. Since that is not a world that I live in, I buy a set when I can and upgrade or piece it together a card at a time. But we can all dream--right? I have a dozen or so of them....mostly non-BB in VG to EX condition. They are very popular obviously in any condition and sell well, so there's usually spirited competition for them unfortunately.
About 15 years ago, I bought an album that had 10-12 of them (2 BB) and 500-600 total cards with 70-80 Old Judges (skinned) and a couple dozen Buchners. I was fortunate to soak all of them out and got the two BB N162's and quite a few of the Buchners graded. The two N162's (Dunlap and Glasscock, I think) got like SGC45-55 or so. Mid grade but they really popped in the holders. Would like to have all those cards back.....including the nonsports. Oh well...........I could say that about a LOT of stuff!
