If my memory serves were some of the sets that I remember drooling over.
One of the things that has been really fun to see is how much the visual sophistication of the community as a whole has grown over the last decade. The color theory, inlay design, set cohesion , etc. It’s amazing how good the sets are in the last few years’ best custom set stump threads.
In those early days, I didn’t have the budget to match my tastes. Now, since I don't currently have a regular game, I’ve been able to protect my golf & woodworking budgets, but god damn that classifieds section has really been calling my name recently.
