Completing 2005 & 2006 Topps Heritage sets: stats and costs

I thought it may be interesting to share my completion stats and costs for the last two years of Topps Heritage. In both 2005 and 2006, I completed my version of the Master Set: 495 card base and SP set (actually 494 cards this year since I didn't go after the Gordon cut-out), 35 card basic insert sets (FB, NAP & TN) and 110 chrome set (109 this year).
2005 SPs:
from boxes - 68 (61.8%)
from trades - 24 (21.8%)
singles/lots bought - 18 (16.4%)
2006 SPs:
from boxes - 51 (46.4%)
from trades - 21 (19.1%)
singles/lots bought - 38 (34.5%)
2005 inserts:
from boxes - 21 (60.0%)
from trades - 11 (31.4%)
singles/lots bought - 3 (8.6%)
2006 inserts:
from boxes - 21 (60.0%)
from trades - 11 (31.4%)
singles/lots bought - 3 (8.6%)
2005 chromes:
from boxes - 29 (26.4%)
from trades - 23 (20.9%)
singles/lots bought - 58 (52.7%)
2006 chromes:
from boxes - 17 (15.6%)
from trades - 13 (11.9%)
singles/lots bought - 79 (72.5%)
Incredibly, after adding up my expenses on Heritage for this year and last, I realized that I spent nearly identical amounts, even though I spent more on boxes in 2005 and more on singles in 2006:
2005 costs:
boxes - $513.00 (6 hobby, 5 blaster)
singles/lots - $287.86 (77 cards)
TOTAL = $800.86
2006 costs:
boxes - $435.31 (3 hobby, 7 blaster, 1 12x2 retail)
singles/lots - $365.45 (122 cards)
TOTAL = $800.76
I'd be interested to hear what others' experiences have been putting together Heritage sets. How much did you spend, what proportion did you complete by pulls out of boxes, trades and/or buying singles on eBay?
One thing I didn't do, that I'm sure others have, was to sell dupes or big pulls to finance more purchases (I couldn't part with the Duke Snider 2/25 auto seat relic I got last year or the Dusty Rhodes 8/57 red auto I pulled this year).

Ummm, if applicable, can I take the 5th on this? I don't even want to know what I've spent this year, or in 2004. Last year was tame - bought a case and completed what I needed quickly through trades. Bought a few blasters here & there, but nothing major. This year? Two hobby cases, lots of blasters, several retail boxes. Traded for all my needed chromes and refractors that I still needed. Obviously doing the relics too, and for the most part I didn't spend much (with the exception of the Mantle). This year I have completed two master sets (including T&N, FB and NAP, + both sets of checklists), chrome, Clubhouse Collection relics and Flashback relics. Still need four more refractors, and after that I'm offically going into Heritage rehab. Need to get with Mike's 9 1/2 step program soon!

do you still have lots of doubles and extra base sets with all that money spent?
