A T206 set question....Yes...another one!

Excellent question...Yes, Without the Magie.

Again, I am really just curious as to the basic cost of this set as someone who is nothing more than an average collector with limited funds. While I am asking for my own knowledge I am sure others out there might also be interested in this as well. Is assembling this set within reach of an average collector who doesnt have big bucks. Can it be done for less than 10K in the condition I described? ( I assume not) 20K? More?

Thank you for the responses. I assumed a presentable set was not attainable for 10K or under but it seems under 20K would be reasonable. Especially when you take into consideration maybe spreading out the set building for 10 to 15 years as I tend to do with something of this size.

I just dont think I can pull the trigger on a card for 4K plus so I am going to have to forget about the Magie if I decide to go after this set. My wife would pull the trigger on me if I spent that much on a card and she found out about it!! LOL

Figure if its around $15k, and you plan to take 10-15 years thats about $1k a year. $100/mo = $25/week so a card a week!

I'm nearly 150 cards into this quest now. About half of my cards are graded and the nicest one is a PSA 4. Most are much less, but all have great eye appeal on the fronts. Some are missing large chunks of the backs, but I don't really care.

Hoping to get all said and done around $20k by 2030. =)

Ok so without the Magie. I think for 15 to 18 it is possible to build a 520 cards set.
