Default 14

Well guys, I have stopped (so far) at 14 sets because I have each set in binders in this configuration:
Sets 1&2 are in the same binder, First set , numbers 1 to 263 , then next start , 1-263 again.

Then I found myself with hundreds of more dupes and liked the look of a binder that has 3 across the 9 pocket sheet of the same guy, three guys to a page, so the whole book will hold 3 sets. That makes 5 sets.

Next i got a 5 inch binder and decided to put 9 of the same guy on each page.
That still took two big binders, 263 pages but looks even cooler. I have pictures somewhere...

Basically, i loved these cards as a kid as I mentioned. I started buying lot after lot on eBay...i had maybe a thousand from my childhood years and then thousands more I gathered in my nostalgic grab from the net. I have hundreds more (and 37 of my favorite Jim Kiick) so I might get some more sets going some day

So these are cheap (i like low grade cards just fine) and are the cards that started my lifelong obsession...why not?
