Default If cost was no concern, what large set would you chase?

T206? 1933 Goudey? 1952 Topps? For me, I'm dreaming of the 2001 SP Legendary Cuts autograph set, maybe the 1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold set, and maybe the 1998 or 1999 PMG sets.

Just the refractors, or all versions? Die-cut, embossed? That would be massive!

Yes! The sheer lunacy of trying to collect a set of Supers is why I love collecting! As a slight twist, I suppose it would be acceptable to collect Reds where/when the Super can't be found. Likewise 2018 Topps flagship Platinum or, similarly when not possible, Black or maybe even Clear, would also be insane. I wonder how many people have honestly ever tried to collect a set of Supers or Platinum?

Have never collected sets or had the urge to so my answer would be none. I’d likely start a second player collection or restart my Michael Jordan PC, which became too expensive for me as a teenager back in 2000.

If money is no concern I would do the following.
Sets-1957 Topps PSA 6+ or 1951 Bowman PSA 5+

Player Run-Barry Bonds Topps Run with Authentic Autos in PSA Slabs.

I’ve always wanted to do 2010 platinum or TC supers. 2010 Topps was the first cards I ever bought and I love doing insane projects. If I had unlimited funds, I’d do one of those

Cost is no concern, right? So I would buy every mega box and value pack that I could find on the open market and rip it. Best part about chasing a 1/1 set is that ripping sealed packs is going to be one of the best ways to find cards you need for your set.

Still looking for the Scherzer super to complete the rainbow.

Mostly raw, but nice looking cards without chipping. Obviously the key cards would probably be easier to find graded.

I’m actually working on a low grade set currently, looking forward to putting it in a binder for easy enjoyment.

I'm not a Yankees fan but I am a baseball fan. I have always kind of wanted to do the Yankee Stadium Legacy set since it came out.
