What is the easiest #1 set to create?

I think it's the SAC Proofs, I have all 70's in mine.
I also had a SBA Proof 70 set since it is just a handful of coins, but I retired it because, well, I just don't like them.
I also have a gold set that was #5 back in 2002.

Negative.
Some that would be required to be #1 are in strong hands and trade privately more than publicly.
One needs to have connections as well as the time, money, and patience.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Money is quite the necessary evil, but you do not need it to have a #1 set. If you want to have a newly released set such as the new Cents or Nickels that came out or the PF70DCAM Sacs, then I do not believe a gallon of cash is needed. Nor do you need time. This can be done in a rather short amount of time.
Do you need all 3 to put a world class set of lets say Barber Dimes in high grade 66+ to 68+, with connections? Again, I don't think so. I just received an e-mail from PCGS that shows several of the "Ex Simpson" Barber Dimes for sale in these exact grades. I contacted no-one, I didn't wait for a long time ie: years, but I will need the "Gallons of cash"
I believe if you are willing to wait, keep your set closed so know one can "Hostage" any certain date/MM, I believe it is possible to complete a Major set, become #1, and not have to utilize all 3 of the "Time, cash, connections, and/or patience.
IMHO, I believe the absolute Keys to building a #1 set is Luck and being at the right place at the right time.

Money is the KEY. The top grades are always there for the big money......ALWAYS!!!!
If I had unlimited funds I could have the #1 set of Trade Dollars next week!
