John, given your choices, I would go after '63. You already have the Rose, and that is significant. '65 is a really pretty set...with a nice Cardinals rookie in Carlton! [emoji1787] I nearly finished that one a few years back. The only sets I have ever completed were 50s sets. I have since broken those up and sold them, keeping the pieces I really wanted..
For me, the fun of the set building process is in learning the nuances of the set you are building. For example, what are the hidden tough cards? What are the hidden gems? The other fun part is storing them in a binder and filling in the empty slots one at a time. Very satisfying!!
Hats off to you, and I wish you luck. I think about tackling a set again, but I just don't think I ever will again. Those 60s sets are huge, and I just can't spend that much money on high numbers of players from 50-60 years ago that I never heard of. There's usually some decent buys for lots on our BST.
Collect what you love. There is not a wrong way to enjoy this hobby. Do what you love, man!!
