How hard is the 1948 leaf BX set to complete?

I think I might try this set. How much money should i exspect to pay (PSa 5 and up), and what are the hard cards in the set?

Thanks,

Graziano is a killer. Think the last one was a PSA 3 and went for about 18K.

WHY is it so much? Could i get a really bad PSA 1 for under $300?

The Graziano is like the Honus Wagner of boxing cards.. I heard only like 4 or 5 exist, period..

Other than that, I dont know much about the set except that I love boxing memorabilia, I just don't own much of it..

Other than that, what are the big dogs? Also how much without that card and the variations (basic set only)

after looking at the pop report for a checklist, the cards I would want are (in no particular order) Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson, Max Schmelling, Joe Louis, Graziano, Willie Pep, Jim Corbett, Sugar Ray Robinson, John Sullivan, Jake Lamotta..

I don't know a lot about the set except the Graziano is a card you will not find.

If a PSA 3 went for 18K I would imagine that a "very bad" PSA 1 would still get around 3K, maybe more. There are 4 people (5 sets) on the registry that are 98% complete and only missing that one card. I would bet that the David Curtis or "Davalillo" wouldn't mind throwing at least a few thousand at that card, no matter what the condition as long as it was in a PSA holder (to guarantee authenticity).
