Adam, collecting 50/4 or higher might be a nice thing for common sets like t206, Goudeys, etc, but there is no way you could put together most caramel sets in that condition. Many sets, like e104-3s, t208s, etc you have to buy what ever comes up. You can't worry about waiting a "nice". There jsut aren't that many around, and in some cases, they don't exist. I had one person laugh at my e104-3s because of how bad of shape they were in. He said he only likes vry high grade stuff. That's fine, but he'll never own a complete set of any caramel issue or other rare sets.

For me personall having been on both sides of the collecting spectrum, I really appreciate low grade now. High grade look nice, but they lack character. No one loved those cards enough to carry them around, flip them or show them off to their buddies.
