The T222 set would not be reasonable in VG. VG is pretty high grade for the set and it is actually an extremely difficult set to complete even in poor, take what you can find, condition. The first 20-25 cards are quite easy, cheap, and can be found in VG without too much difficulty, but then you'll hit the shortprints (Henry, Lelivelt, Schulte, Leibold, etc) and lets not forget Johnson (also a shortprint) and Alexander.

Seems right to me, maybe slightly on the conservative side but all depends on the cards, especially the big guns. Some of the pops are oddly tough. Really appreciate your thoughts.

I know what my VG (and extremely well-centered) Diamond Stars set cost me to assemble. I don't have any idea what I could actually sell it for.

I also just kicked off a T201 set that I'm aiming to complete in the GD range, so this thread is relevant to my interests. It's definitely not happening for $2k.
