8. 1963 (Highs Mid premium, but has Stars, ROSE)
9. 1961 (Highs TOUGH, AS in Highs, MVP cards, HOF RC's)
10. 1967 (Highs ridiculous w/HOF RC's Seaver/Carew)

I can't imagine the cost and frustration with trying to build a '67 nowadays. All those non-DP highs that command a big premium, and you can't even save $ by going down to like grade 3 raw to get them, because there's so much demand that people pay Ex prices for those too.

And, yeah, Seaver and Carew added on to that. And if someone wanted to go low grade, finding an acceptable Seaver cheap is nearly impossible.

It's the only set of the '60s that I have, and honestly, from a collecting standpoint, I'd rather have it than the decade's other nine combined. Those two great rookie cards and all of the best HOFers from a very long period, as long as you'll take Koufax in leader cards.

Wait, this was about the '64. Oops
