I have found it verrrrry difficult to overcome the urge to overpay for the last cards in a set. With my '59 and '58 builds I hurried to finish without regard to getting value for my $$. But as time has gone by I've gotten better at it. What I've done has been, as noted by others, is to begin my next set and walk away from the nearly completed one for a bit. Then I'll add a card or two here and there.
I'm down to just a handful of needs for my 1970 basketball set so when I troll eBay or COMC for my many 1979 needs I will add a card from that hoops set if I can. When that one is done and my '79 set gets closer to completion I will shift focus to my 1962 set as my 'one at a time slowly' goal.
I have starter lots of '61 and '75 baseball and a stack of '54 Bowman football which I haven't even looked at yet. I'll take them on one at a time as I finish my three currently 'open' sets. It's like an endless chain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
