This is the first baseball set from the fifties I've ever built and decided to go with one that had fewer cards as an entry point. What a great set and honestly, I think, undervalued in regards to the top HOFers. The Mays, Williams and Mantle are all very reasonable, especially considering they are still early releases for Mays and Mantle. The others like Berra, Matthews, Snider, Campy and Hodges were all less than $100 in presentable condition. I'm down to four cards and one of those is Mantle, but I'm being disciplined on picking up the right one for the allocated budge. My Williams is pretty rough but I really just wanted to complete it in binder for viewing and kept my budget to $2500 for the entire set. If I can pick up a Mantle that is not destroyed for ~$500 then I'll have accomplished it within budget.
