I build sets as a dealer. How, you might ask, is it possible to make a profit? I buy thousands of cards in lots and assemble sets from them I don't even look at individual cards until I'm at LEAST 90% done. If I buy a lot of 5,000 1975 Topps that's easily the base for 6 sets but I might get the lot for $200. Maybe I'll buy a lot of 70's rookies. Maybe 100 mixed rookies for a few hundred. Out of that I may get 2 or 3 or more Bretts, Younts, Rice, Carter etc... Also I try and do EX or better sets, so I can sell of all the lower end singles in bulk lots of my own.
I have actually put together sets virtually for free when you take into account cards I've sold from lots that I didn't need for sets. Time is the real cost for me, not money.
