I'm only about 20% done about 2 years in, but I have gone after some of the tougher ones (Seaver, Carew, Mantle, Mays, Aaron, B. Robby...) first so as to not get discouraged later on. Good luck. Most of the high number SP's even lower grade are ridiculously expensive if you are looking at BIN's. I know you can occasionally find them for cheaper waiting out auctions, but so far my patience has not extended to that mindset. I intend to focus a lot harder on '67 in 2023. I got big time distracted about this time last year with an impulse buy of a nice '71 Topps set, LOL.

Ok…..just a little follow up from the runaway comment
I put together 2 complete 1967 sets last year in ex-exmint or better (mostly better  )…..I had A LOT of extras and started a third set…..crazy I am!!! I’m at 608/609 for the 3rd set…..so 2.99 sets of 1967 topps in one year. I’m a Seaver away from being done! I would definitely buy the key cards graded. The highs get stupid money but are easily available. Something that books for 20.00 always selling 60.00 range but the real fun is from 450-530’s and they offer some hard finds. Greg morris is my best friend!!!! IM NOT SECRETLY PUTTING A 4th SET Together……

3 67s in one year?! What? Why? Lol
Thanks for all the info and advice guys - I really appreciate it. I already had the Seaver and Carew from my HOF rookie collection so that was a good head start. I’m working in the highs first - I’ve always been one to jump into the deep end. I bought a nice Brooks Robinson last night. This is going to be fun.

Very nice set; you'll enjoy it after the chase. But the chase if fun also.
I finished putting together an EXish set on May 8, 2017. Looking back at my list, I remember the Red Sox TC and Mike Shannon being particularly tough. Good luck with the hunt and stay the course. It's a beautiful set.
