how can i go about building a 1968 topps baseball set?

well before i used to be into collecting, then it became a buisness, now the only cards/memorbilia i have are whats in my personal collection, which is no more than 15 items. i recently bought a 1968 topps nolan ryan/jerry koosman rookie in poor condition (after everyone talked about the card for a month!!!!), and after a week or so after i bought and received the card i have decided on possibly building this set as my new project (this would be my second set project, first was 89 upper deck set back in the day). anyways, the set books for $2500, and i cant afford this but i want to build it, so i was thinking of getting the set in poor condition like my ryan/koosman rookie, i was planning on spending about $200 on the complete set (without the mantle, clemente, bench, aaron, mays, maris), which without those 6 cards and the ryan i have, the set comes up to be about $1000 in nrmt, so in poor/good condition i should be able to get this for about $200, right?? any help on how or where i could get the cards? obviously ebay, but i dont want to buy them one by one, just in lots of 100+, but their still going for alot. any help would be appreciated. if i could afford it, yes i would get a better version, but with the money situation and from choosing a set to build, i want to build the 1968 set.

check out ebay I saw about 3 or 4 lots that prolly will go cheap.

It might be cheaper to buy a complete set, but I enjoy learning about the history of the set and the players as I build it.
Whatever you choose, have fun doing it.

The '68 is a nice set. I just recently sold my 100% complete '68 PSA graded set (~#15 on The Registry) and I DO MISS IT! I still have some raw '68s around the house. The cards are not in poor/good condition, but they are not Mint either.
I always like to help out a fellow collector if i can, so I'll tell ya what I'll do. Send me a PM with your name and address. I'll get a group of '68s out to you in the mail over the weekend. Once you get them YOU decide what they are worth to you and then send me payment. Sound good?
Stay Healthy!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
