That being said, if you spend 60k to finish and then sell the set you won't get a premium, the AH will break out the big 6 and group the rest. You would get your money back on the 6 and make a profit on the others depending what you paid for them. Pre-war set building is not for profit, it has to be your passion. Personally I would sell the rest to collect the big 6 but that's just how I collect.
I am a set builder and collector but I agree with this advice. I would sell the rest of the set to help in purchasing the Ruths and Gehrigs. No doubt about it.
