Money is no object - What sets do you collect?

[riggs336]

R306 Buttercream master set.

[Steve D]

If money were no object, I'd finish my T205, T206 and T207 sets, along with the N172 HOFers.

My one wish is they used some of the t9 color schemes or different backdrops for few if the subjects. The boxers get no love!

Probably T206 for me as well. I like to collect complete sets, and the only way I'm completing a T206 set is if money is no object.

w600 would be fun too.

Money is no object..... t206 all cards, all possible backs for each...

[CobbSpikedMe]

Great replies so far. I thought of a few more that I would want to work on.

1. e285 - Rittenhouse Candy
2. 1929 Leader Novelty
3. 1910 Orange Borders

I know these would be tough, but it would be a blast to watch these sets slowly grow over time.

Remember, money is no object so don't limit yourself to just one set, especially if it is a tough set to complete. You can work on as many as you really want to with unlimited funds.

Prewar...T206 (or maybe '14 CJ)
Postwar...'53 Bowman

Of course with money not being an issue, you could hypothetically collect everything, but where is the fun in just clicking Buy It Now on everything just to have it? The chase is where the fun is at. Having no money issues holding you back, you can go after the cards you're chasing when you find them, but if you're not looking for anything in particular, there is no adventure.

Keep the ideas coming guys, this has been more fun to follow than I thought it would be when the thread was started.

For the majority of these dream sets, all the money in the world won't complete them. Many well healed collectors have tried and still fell short....

There simply aren't enough of the cards available, especially now.

E107 for example, when I started it circa 2000 and got close by 2008, I bought three collections of over 100 cards at a time along with dozens of small groups, acquiring over 500 cards total and still needed several. Now you will be lucky to find a few commons and HOFers here and there. No one has yet to complete it and the three closest have ample assets to pay up should the cards come up.

Such is the case with many, many tough issues.

You and me both. Maybe someday I'll get the full-size reprints from Mike Wheat. For now, I'll live with my standard-size reprint set. Just an incredibly gorgeous set.

If money were no object, the Hindu-backs I’ve let go by I’d make a run at. Same with four of the five Cobbs I know are out there. That would leave about 30 Piedmont or Old Mill backs to get all of the 47 or so Howe-stamped cards I know are out there but not in my collection. Might even hire a detective to try and track down his Piedmont-backed Honus.

Already mentioned, but the various Goodwin & Co. cabinet cards.
