I like the raw vintage set idea. A bunch of them from the 70's wouldn't be too expensive yet. '73 has a ton of HOF'ers in it that are still reasonably priced but are all-time great names like Mays, Clemente, Aaron, Rose. People always love the '72 or '75 sets because of the designs too...

Such sad news. I never really had much conversation with him, but everything that I saw, he seemed like a stand up guy with a real heart for collecting. We definitely need more people like him in the hobby.
