My suggestion is not that these items are not worth obtaining. Merely, I was suggesting that the sets inclusion in the price guide was arbitrary (as is with the inclusion of most non-trading card items in a trading card price guide. For example, I have no idea why the Joseph Hall Cabinets are included in a trading card price guide, when hundreds of other cabinets made by other prominant photographers aren't. The price guides, likely following the hobby's fashion, decided that somehow a cabinet made by Joseph Hall was closer to a trading card than a cabinet made by, say, Falk.). I was also suggesting that neither the SCD or Beckett price guide should be viewed as a checklist bible for what is or is not neccesary for a complete trading card collection. The baseball card price guides are neither complete nor completely baseball cards.
