Which Set To Complete?
I'm looking to build a set that I can complete. I want it to be a challenge, but not close to impossible. I tend to like the more vintage looking cards like Topps Heritage, Ginters,etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!

A&G, fun set, a nice challenge especially if you get in to the mini's. Tons of set collectors out there for both brands so trading off doubles should be fairly easy.
Good Luck!

If you really like the vintage cards how about trying to complete a vintage set i know you may not get packs to open but still a challenge and plenty of vintage sets that arent impossible to complete as well

Gypsy queen is a nice set to as well as A&G. I may try the A&G next year. I did the 2012 Heritage for the '63 design and it was awesome. Took some time due to the SP's but finished it 1-500 and some of the inserts as well.
Looking to complete the 2013 Archives Mets fan favorite Au's (Just need Ron Darling) and 2014 Topps Gypsy Queen set mini base + SPs. Also working on 2015 Topps Chrome and updates. Please note that if you have less than 15 trades, I ask that you send first.

Heritage because of the super short printed cards. They give a nice challenge and they look nice!

I am not a set collector but my vote is for Heritage. I like how they change it up year to year.

Judging from your avatar, I would recommend the 2001 Fleer Red Sox 100th set with all it's inserts. Vintage players mixed with "then" current stars, all in Red Sox unis. This is the last set I built from scratch and did not buy already completed. I couldn't afford all of the GU/Autos so I just got one of each to represent the set.
