The '68 set is a good selection, and that's a killer Gibson.
These guys went the route of analysing scarcity and condition issues, as well as high set expense. I was going to go another direction. For me, set collecting is partially driven by those factors, but visual appeal, and ultimately the players included have a bigger influence on my decision making.
For instance, if I were a big Cubs fan, the '61 set would be a no brainer with rookie cards of Billy Williams and Ron Santo, while having both a standard issue and an MVP card of Ernie Banks. Giants fans would like the set, too, with Juan Marichal's rookie card, and the second Willie McCovey card.
There are a lot of ways to look at it, and again, this isn't the only set from the 60s you may ever build. So you can't go wrong. Work on the '68 set, and when you want a break, maybe buy a card or two from whatever the next set you build might be.
Ultimately, you're going to have fun no matter how you go about it, right? And that's why we're all here.
Good luck, Luis! I look forward to seeing your set grow.
