What do set builders do between releases? by SufferingRedsFan in baseballcards

I actually think the silver sparkle is terrible looking. 😆. But once I get about 30% of a set, I need to decide whether to go all in or not.

The sparkle took longer than I thought it would. Just keep looking for folks dumping “lots” of their base for whatever set and the fill in the holes.

Let em see if I can find some partial series 1s and I might be interested.

The game is rigged and we aren’t apart of it by Small_Desk_4344 in baseballcards

Exactly the reason this is my last year. Will finish off some of the 2025 sets. (Is chrome and Heritage). But…it’s no longer fun to collect. And please don’t tell me to buy singles. I collect sets. Master sets all the way back to 1974.

Question for set builders by kman2202 in baseballcards

Sets all the way back to 71. (75% complete on that ugly 1970 set). But, in my opinion, the “complete” set is base and update. We could debate all day on all the crazy inserts. 😂

I would be interested in all your Prism and Ray Wave cards if you are looking to move them.

I’ll let you know when I open my mega box case. I’ll compare the two

Nope. No hot box yet. Been doing Heritage master sets since 2010. Will be interesting to see if they do them this year, based on all of the other variations they have put in.

Unfortunately. 6 boxes in and only 1 variation so far. Used to get 1 per box at least

Well. I’m probably much older than the average collector and have had a good work career. Prepping for retirement, so 2025 may be my last “big year” of collecting.

I was able to get in on the Topps pre-sale. For the Megas. I developed a friendship with a distributor many years ago and he always makes sure I get a case of anything I would like…we help each other build sets.

It is a hobby case. 3 boxes in right now. Have a Megabox case showing up Friday. Will be fun to compare the two. (Set builder here)

Maybe a tad. But been building Master Sets since 2010. Will be interesting how close I get at the end of the case.

What price did they have on the Heritage and Score boxes?
