MikeWhat is the most rewarding way of completing a vintage set?
A) Acquire as many commons as possible with your current funds so you can see immediate progress (ex. 25% complete after a few months), only to add the more expensive cards very slowly later on.
B) Acquire a few big-ticket cards early on. You are able to enjoy looking at the Cobbs and Matty's right away, but then you look at the progress of your set (say 5% after a few months) and sometimes get discouraged.
C) Buy commons early on, then start purchasing the bigger names somewhere in the middle to renew your enthusiasm to finish the set.
I'm sure this topic isn't nearly as interesting as finding out who posted what using a certain AOL IP address, but I'm very curious because I lost interest in a set after trying option "A" and have recently started another set trying option "B". So far, "B" is winning.
