Another thread about set building

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

I nearly posted this is John's or Emily's set threads, but I didn't want to hijack them. As someone who is thinking about starting a set like '57 Topps, I am finding that thread informative. Here's my hang up...and red alert, this is really stupid but here it goes.

Last Summer, I broke up my '53 and '54 Topps sets, keeping the rookies/stars I wanted. With the proceeds of the rest of the sets, I bought some graded T and E cards. Part of me regrets breaking them up but, like I said, I kept some of the "big" cards. Anyway, I have since had thoughts about doing another set, but it has been hard to get myself motivated to build a "newer" (not that '57 is new) set after having had '53 and '54. At the same time, the fun was in the chase and, once that was over, I was more or less ready to part with them. I have thought about putting them back together before moving on to other sets, but I have already done them. I am trying really hard to just move on to a set like '57, but I am having a tough time. Have any of you gone through this?
