At the risk of being "lambasted" again, as I recommended this on a prior Thread....acquire large
lots. It's the most practical, and in the long run, less expensive way to start large sets of 200-
600 cards.

The star cards are always available, it is the commons, or minor stars, that will make or break
your persistence in completing a set. Take for example a common T206 in Ex condition, not too
long ago it was a $50 (or less card)....now they are going for $100 - $200 each. That's comes
to an awful lot of $$$$$ to complete this set.

I've seen so many collectors give up on completing a set....such as a T206....simply because
they become discouraged in not being able to find the tougher commons. This problem is more
prevalent, nowadays, as collectors lack the patience of ones a decade, or two ago.
