Replying to my own thread because this week I finished my second puzzle. I mentioned in the original post I was S L O W L Y building this set, so this proves that point.
I just finished off puzzle 4 using the six blue cards. This set build is taking even longer than I was planning because these cards have really started going up in price. This was going to be my "bargain" Goudey set, because when I started, many of the common cards could be purchased for $20. Not so anymore. In particular it took me a long time to finish puzzle 4 because the the Ruffing/Malone/Dickey/Lazzeri with the 4D back was so hard to get with a reasonable price. So I finally just overpaid for one so I could finish puzzle 4. Next up is puzzle 1 or puzzle 8/9 with the unique fronts I don't have.
Maybe I'll check in NEXT year with my progress
Here's my latest puzzle:
