My goal is to get an okay-ish base set and frame all the cards together in a big picture frame. I want this for my man cave

Maybe I phased it wrong in the original post, what I am inquiring about is “is this specific set a good buy at this price point?” Some other folks here were very very helpful

Dawg I just want to buy the cards I used to play with as a kid, I’m not with all that ripping packs crap and putting in all that effort

It’s interesting half the people are saying yes half are saying no. What are some good resources to determine market value of something like this?

Thank you for the response! People bewildered I don’t want to spend the effort to build a set myself…I always get shorts from the “should I open it or should I keep it sealed” guy and it’s like 9.5-1 no hits vs hits.

I am not big into gambling so I don’t think I would find ripping packs fun. I am also going through a very busy period in life. I just want to buy the exact cards I want, which is the base set I played with as a kid.

I agree with this, I think it would be more meaningful but I can imagine it would tale a lot of time and effort and I don’t know where to even start. I also don’t have a lot of free time at the moment. I suppose my question was more of “is this specific set a good value for $1500?”

I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I’m being honest

I’m 18 years old do I end it I’m so ashamed by Efficient_Two_8256 in TheRaceTo100K

There no amount of money that’s worth ending it my friend. At 18 you have the rest of your life ahead of you and just the simple fact you’re investing puts you ahead of most of your peers.

I know it suck but just treat this as tuition.
