I've found the "everything I like all at once" approach is a lot cheaper. It takes me a long time to finish any individual set, but I'm always making progress and doing my sets at very low total prices.

Well said. I used this approach to build my Topps set run....I am still using this approach to finish many other non-Topps sets (IE. Fleer, Bowman, Playball, Goudey, Post, etc). The savings gained from using this approach has been astronomical as there always seems to be a good deal on card(s) from one of the sets I am working.
