Joe D.Love the set!
There are four toughies:
Boston Natl, NY American, St. Louis American, St. Louis Natl... in that order.
The rest can be had much more easily.
Detroit and Cleveland are somewhat pricey (which I guess makes them harder to come by) because Detroit has Cobby and Cleveland has Shoeless Joe...... (I have a low-grade T200 Detroit on the B/S/T btw).
I had some trouble picking up a NY Natl for a while (Matty)... but then all of a sudden a whole bunch of them pop up available.
As far as price....
a really nice complete set just went for $10,500 I believe in sloate auction.
buying them individually in the same condition I would think would cost more.
I say go for it! Without a doubt in my mind a very undervalued set.
when you put a bunch of them together they look awesome.
edit to say: as far as grading, I am not sure the graders have figured out 'consistency' on this set yet. I have seen SGC 20s and 30s that look better than SGC 40s. Its an old saying... but especially true for this set.... buy the card - not the holder. But when you do dress it in a holder, I think the SGC ones are the best looking.
