Hey John!
It’s funny because just after I hit the submit reply button on my message, my brain got to thinking this exact thing! I started thinking, “well, I could continue my other project (I have several different collecting projects im working on currently) of collecting a 1951–1959 topps complete run of cards OR maybe it will be better to focus on some really great cards like a 54 topps Hank Aaron and 1955 topps Roberto Clemente and 1968 Nolan Ryan or 53 topps Robinson, Mays and Paige. More of a quality vs quantity type of vintage collection.

My problem is that in our hobby there are so many awesome cards I want to collect them ALL! But I agree with you my friend and you are 110% right, quality vs quantity might be the better hand to play (and better value wise for my heirs) if I’m reading this right, for example instead of trying to collect a 1952 topps graded set (minus the mantle) or trying to complete a 1951-1959 topps run (minus the mantle) it would be financially better to instead focus on collecting key HOF cards from the 1950’s?
