Thanks for the good wishes. Other than the '52 and '56 (and only cause I already have half of that one including Mantle), I can't imagine the extra cost and burnout from building much else.
Complete sets from the '70s are way too reasonable to find. And the '54 and '57 to '69 aren't that bad. Even the ones with the worst realistic break-up value (relative to that set's typical cost) from those years, the '60 through '66 except the '63, are still less cost-effective to build. Especially in my case, since I don't already have any cadillac '57 to '69 cards except for the '57 Mantle.
Though since I also have the '57 Frank Robinson and Drysdale,
maybe I'd have some fun with that one and build it, especially if I could find a good deal on Brooks. But that set is fairly top heavy, so we'll see
