Long-term... Is it worth collecting? does it have an upside?

historically, what have you guys seen?

Im potentially interested in collecting the higher graded ones...

I realize it will never hit the gum issue sets....but was curious, as to your guys opinions

thx!!

An argument can be made that since SGC/BVG only added slabs that can contain them relatively recently, that the market for them (and other oversized issues) has not yet matured.

I think Matt is 100% correct. Also, the R312's seem to be a good deal scarer than many of the other Goudey/Play Ball sets of the era.

I personally love the set. Lots of star power with Greenberg, Dickey, Wagner, Hornsby, Mack, Mize Rookie and Dimaggio Rookie, I think there is a lot of potential for high grade examples.
