Which set should I complete first?

So yeah, it's gonna be '65. Just bought a nice raw Joe Morgan RC at the LCS. Next spending will be around a month from now for my birthday, where I will try to be disciplined and just buy a nice common lot...

I guess it's a bit late to make a case for the 63 set! It is the one set I started - made it about 40% in and stopped. It is my favorite set of the 60's. 2 great rookies in Rose and Stargell. Mid career cards of some of baseball's best (Clemente, Mantle, Mays, Aaron) in addition to plenty more star power. Some tough high #'s (which I see as a positive challenge - not a deterrent).

Well, have fun doing the 65 - keep us updated!

Having done the 67', 68', 69', 70', 71' and 72 set in the last 4 years, I can tell you without a doubt the 1972 set was my favorite. It also was only my second to ever do, so its totally doable.

'63 was a close second. If I can show some discipline with this one, and it doesn't take me a decade - '63 will likely be next. I do like the idea of chasing high numbers (even if in lower grade) at some point. Not really a big fan of the '63 Aaron, but the rest of the star cards from what I know are all pretty decent in the eye appeal dept.

You can do it, John! It's just gonna take a little patience!

I wouldn't worry about the commons. I would look for the Hunter RC, Perez RC, Clemente, Koufax, Mays and Aaron. Then move on to the other Hofers before filling in with the commons. The big cards increase in price at a greater rate.

That's my natural tendancy anyway. I do have the Aaron in an SGC 4.
