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.

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.

I built that set with many, many duplicates from wax packs when I was 9 years old. Yes, that was a lot of packs! First set I ever put together, beginning with the first packs of cards I ever was allowed to buy. I do not have the complete set today, but I do have all the ones that were my favorites at that time. Favorites = all the "heavies". I guess building the set again today wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility based on that. I think the set is great looking, I love the green backs, and it is my favorite set from the 1960s. Excellent choice of a set to build, and best of luck with it!
