Patience is the key word. Like most of us, your budget will only allow you to buy so much at a time or in a period of time. I don't set goals right now because I have no idea what will come my way. If I see a card I like and can afford, I buy it. I don't see any reason to push the issue. There are times I will buy five 206's in a week then buy none the next two. I base my collecting primarily on opportunity. Most of us have a collecting preference, so we stay primarily inside those guidelines. So IMO there isn't a set amount I buy at any given time. I have collected roughly 170-t206's in three years...but my first year I think I grabbed around 80. I believe I will be able to complete this set within 10 years of first starting it. If I don't, then no big deal...every time I get a new one in a mail, I admire it like the rest.

Remember that it's the journey that is usually the best part, not the finish
