Hello, I have a chance to purchase either or both of these but probably will only get one. They both book for about the same amount. 48 is $3600 and 54 is $4000. Which set do you think has the most potential for growth. Personally, I like the 54 set better and I know it has the T. Williams card also but what are some thoughts? Thanks -- forgot to put that both are probably Vg/Ex

depends on the actual condition of the cards you're buying, particularly the key issues. But, all things being equal, the 48 has more potential IMO due to the unusually high HOF rookie selection. If all the 48s in the set you're buying are trimmed, however, then it has no potential. So, it is not easy to answer your question without more facts. I like the 54 set aesthetically, and it has a lot of HOFers.

Both are probably Vg/Ex, sorry forgot that important part. Thanks Cravetopps

quick math would suggest the 48 is a better buy if the key cards are the same grade.
