Jon CanfieldIf you are looking for an easy set, try the E95's too. I put the set together (average grade of SGC 30) in about 3-4 months from last November of 2005 to March of 2006. E95's are great because it offers cards of Matty, Cobb, Wagner, Plank and Cicotte, among other HOF'ers (Collins, Bender, etc). The biggest challenge will be buying the cards. Since I finished the set this March, current prices would seem to indicate it would cost me 2.5x's what it did to complete the set if I started over again. To give you an idea of what I paid, I purchased the Cobb raw for $600 (graded to an SGC 30), a Wagner SGC 20 for $1000, a Plank SGC 30 for $400, a Cicotte raw for $125 (graded to a SGC 20) and the Matty SGC 10 for $100.
Recently, I've seen a Cobb SGC 10 for $1085 (Leon's site), a Wagner SGC 20 for $1850 (Hofstra Show), A Matty PSA 2 for $1500 (eBay), and a Plank SGC 10 for $400 (eBay) and $375 (private sale of my duplicate).
