I haven't stopped to figure it, but I would bet I am at $10k on my low grade set....I have $1600 in the four cobbs alone, $585 in a Demmitt... $40-50 in a lot of the Southern Leaguers so that's 20% of it right there. Heck at $20 a card, you're looking at more than $10K.

585 in a demmit is a bargain price, you probably own it since many years.

Same thing for the 4 cobb at 1600. I have only 3 cobb now , bat off psa 2 , green port 1.5 and red portrait graded 1 and i have arround 2K in it .

I think it is almost impossible to build a 520 card set for 10K.

10 000 / 520 = 19$ average per card....

The set include 76 HOF cards, if i remove Plank and wagner we have 74 HOF. If you paid arround 20$ for each comon card so 20$ X ( 520 - 74 ) = 8920 $.
446

So 10 000 $ - 8920 $ = 1080 to afford 74 HOF cards.

And in this 446 ' comon ' card we have southern league player and also player who have a value more than a regular comon card....

like eddie cicotte card, eberfield variation, gandhil etc etc...

so i don t think we can build a T206 set for 10K.

All PSA graded 4, 4.5, or 5. I have plenty of time so it will take several years or decades to complete. I think I am up to 55 cards I get going and then I find something I have a much better chance of completing near term and finish that instead. So I may get 10 cards in a month or 10 in a year. I have no timetable for it at all. Most sets when I start I know when I hope to have it completed by, but with the Monster unless you want to only focus on it it is just too big and consuming for me to strictly go after it.

^^Ditto^^

Most of mine are 10s and Auths. I wanted a (mostly) raw set that wouldn't break the bank. Going after the 520 - "minus the big 4" set now. Need 5!
