I'm not really sure were to go next Non-Sports-wise. I'm about 50% on the R174 World War Gum set, but the cards are not nearly as common as the R78's and decent condition WWG's, (especially 49 thru 96), are difficult to come by. Vintage baseball has been a bit of a pleasent distraction lately as well.
Geoff-
No worries. I got the Flying Fox for quite a bit less than I thought I would. After waiting a while for the last two to pop up, I figured they were probably going to cost me. Upgrading won't be cheap I'm sure.
