Would you pay a premium for a prewar complete set(subset)

[greco827]

So in the modern card world, sets are far cheaper than trying to crack packs or put together a set, and you can get one substantially cheaper already collated than if you tried to put it together yourself. Most likely because the bulk f the set is junk, and you're doing the seller a favor by taking 750 junk cards off his hands to say you have a set.

However, in the prewar world, this is very different. Assuming they are in an acceptable condition, even the most common of cards is collectible. This being said, would you pay a per-card premium if you were to buy a complete set/subset of cards? Such as a T206 PD150 set, or SL set, or portrait set, or whatever floats your boat. Assuming all cards were equal or close in quality, and sold for an average of $100 per card, would you pay, say, $125 card to save yourself a few years of chasing them down, or would there still be a "bulk rate discount" for lack of a better term?
