Collecting Panels

I have been collecting Roberto Clemente for years now. My favorite items are the complete boxes I have including all of the Bazookas (except for 1960) and Post cereal and Nabisco Team flakes full boxes - just incredible and a SUPER challenge!

Do you go ahead and buy the individual cards as well as the boxes? I can definitely see the interest in the complete boxes. I wish they were a little bit more affordable, cause I would add a few to my set.

In the case of 1960 where I do not own a complete box, I have a full panel. The individual cards are of little interest. While pricing for the boxes is considerably more than the panels, I think there is A LOT of upside given the scarcity of the boxes. When I first started collecting I did have singles or panels until I acquired the boxes. Still searching for that 1960 box. To drive myself a little crazier, from 1960-1967 there are 2 box variations with the bazookas - a 20 piece box and 25 piece box. The cards themselves are the same size, but in the case of 1960-1962 the boxes are different sizes and designs and 1963-1967 the boxes are different sizes! I am still looking for a number of the variations. Happy collecting.

I love the Topps panels. I keep my complete (except for the 1962 Battey / Clemente; Callison / Mays; O'Toole / Hansen) sets in 9 pocket pages.
