I don’t have a whole lot new to add, but my experience with building my 1953 Topps set has been I prefer them raw. It’s nice to be able to look at them one by one (most are in toploaders) and be able to handle them. If I were doing it over again, I would focus more on the stars first. I kept telling myself that I could get Mantle and Paige later, and now they’re at several multiples of where they were a year and a half ago. On the plus side, I locked down Robinson and Campanella before the run up; I don’t know where I’d be if I had to get them now.
