If the 1952 set is beginning to be a chore, why not just sell it and spend the funds on a card or another set that will be meaningful or enjoyable? Don't fall back on T206 (or any other set) because the rest of the hobby likes it. Take some time and pick what YOU want and go from there.

James, do you find lots of people really do "mental gymnastics" to say they have a complete set? I've been collecting the set for 20+ years know tons of fellow T206 set collectors. To date I haven't run across anyone really trying to spin that they have a complete set if its missing cards.
Everything gets boring or slow at some point, the secret is variety a little obit of everything. This IMO will allow you to hop from one to the other as one slows down.
