The Collector"s Quest ·

2018/07/02

We're talking prices today, specifically what the most economical way to approach buying a full set is. In this episode we take a look at 3 sample sets of games (top shelf, uncommon, and super common) and see how well you would have made out putting the same amount of money into each type over the course of 18 months. No guessing and conventional wisdom here. We see clear differences not only between the different sample sets, but between cart only and complete games.
