50's football
I can answer a portion of your question...yes I think you can put together a 50 or 51 Bowman in NM for around 5K...I put together the 51 set in less than a year and without really concentrating on it am just a few cards short on the 50 Bowman set in the same time frame...There are a few cards in each set that you have to be patient on if you are going to stay in your budget..by being patient I mean trying to risk the temptation of hitting "buy it now" on an overpriced card that you need...Card #1 in the 50 set of Doak Walker is a good example of a card you will have to wait on to find in an auction format.
As far as the SGC cards go, I think you will probably have to submit some ungraded cards or go the crossover route. There just isn't alot of 50's football graded SGC as compared to PSA. Crossovers will add to your expense, but on the positive side, if you do find cards you need in sgc holders, my guess is that they will be a little cheaper than if they were in PSA holders. Good luck!
