I don't really collect sets, but I did finish an e104 type set in over a year (e104-1 blank, world champ, nadja, e104-2 blank, nadja, e104-3 blank, nadja).

My uncle gave me his 1939-1941 Playballs in 1973 when I was 12. I did not start to fill in the holes until I was 19 years old. I completed the trio about 1995 with the 1940 Shoeless. So, did it take me 22 years? No. But probably a good 5 for the trio when I got serious. I started Diamond Stars with the intent to finish in 5 years. I am patient to pay a "low" price and all in un-graded. I have about 20 cards and 2 years to go. No high numbers. And only 1 variation, just for kicks.

I completed my T205 master set minus the Hobby no stats in just under 15 years. My second t205 base set took about 4 years.
I bought a complete 1941 Playball set about 10 years ago from the original collector for $300. I completed a S&S set about 10 years ago as well but have since sold it. Took me about 4 years to do that set but I had bought a large lot in a local auction to jumpstart it. Joshua

Took me roughly 4 years to finish off the N28 set in a consistent condition (all raw in around at least VG-EX up to around EX-MT....still actually need to upgrade a few but just haven't).....had 5 of th 10 baseball and just kinda decided to try to do the baseball....but I ran up on a good group of the non-baseball and bought them and the quest started...finished at the '99 National (Thanks to Terry Knouse Sr. an Jr.) with the purchase of the Caruthers.....when finished the 50 cards I had 24/50 of a 2nd set (all non-bb but with Cody and few boxers in various conditions from buying group lots and upgrading)......sold those at the '99 National....to Knouse.....probably my all-time favorite set

1934 Goudey
It took me 3 yrs to finish my 1934 goudey set....of course now I have almost a complete second set and started wondering what to do with my triples as I continue to upgrade.

Re: Pre WWII Set Collectors
I completed my E95 set in nine months. All cards have been graded by
PSA and now are slabbed as either a grade 4 or 5. I was so impressed with the quality of the set compared to other sets of the period, I researched the company and wrote a book about the Philadelphia Caramel Company.
