That's exactly the conclusion I came to. I was seeing how much fun my buddy was having, working on his 1956 and then 1955 Topps sets, that I decided to work on completing a set, too. The 1960s are my decade of choice, and the 1962 Post set, besides being the most attractive and clever (AL and NL players having different color schemes,) there were no cards more expensive than the Mantle, at a very reasonable $50 to $60. In fact, after Mickey, I think all cards can be found in decent shape for $30 or less.

Also, no concerns about whether cards are trimmed, since they all are.

I'm currently 5 cards away from completing my second set. If anyone has available an extra Wynn, Versalles, Marichal, Torre, or White, let me know.
