This will be my 2nd time around building a short set of 518, although I have zero expectation of getting anywhere near completion, what with the price of the key cards in the set. There is much to like about this set, this time in baseball and the nation as a whole. The more you look, the more there is to discover...such as the Ty Cobb rep as a bad guy had much more to do with a smear campaign by a particular writer than the real deal...or the early death of Addie Joss...and the tragic passing of Christy Mathewson after being gassed in WWI. Nothing wrong with collecting replicas, but my taste runs to the real deal, usually in the form of near-beaters. | ||
I don't ever expect to get any more than just a few originals of these, but won't let that stop me from acquiring the education there is to be gained from studying this set. I'm still looking for a good price on a 524-card reprint set. |
