You might want to read my posts earlier in this thread as a cautionary tale. Though I tried to be humorous, the facts are genuine. I chased one player per team, intending to proceed patiently with that as a side item, but my heart overcame my head in pursuing Eddie Plank and I over paid. Chuck Klein, on the other hand took a little longer and came in at about 4500 PP. Harold Baines kind of fell into my lap. Many of the cards came in pulls, including the most "expensive" in that collection. I completed that one for less than 500 PP.
All that being said, I have now gotten over the Plank splurging, because it was my sentimental favorite of the collection cards.
I think it's possible, if you're diligent and and self-disciplined, to get the cards at decent prices. That said, I'm done with them, but mostly because I like variety on my teams, and I don't like having to hold the amount of cards you need to as you go along. For an old-timer like me, that kind of clutter in the mind makes the mistakes I detailed in my previous posts inevitable.
I think there's an opinion in here somewhere. Wait, there it is. Collections are a viable way to go if you're not a dumbass like me.
