Also a set collector. Like many, I got back in the hobby and finished all the sets I had started as a kid, then got into the history of baseball in general, and specifically, being a Detroiter, the history of the Tigers.
The 1934-35 Tiger teams were probably the best all-around teams they ever had, so I found a set that covered those years: Diamond Stars. Very reasonable, and easy to find. Along the way, however, I discovered that I'm a terrible crack-addict. I understand and appreciate graded cards, but I also despise them. For some weird reason I really enjoy setting a card free. It seems so wrong, but it feels so right! Complete sets belong in binders, raw!
Now working on the '34 Goudey set, but it's tough to spend the money on those damn high numbers. I seem to be drifting toward just collecting the Tigers instead of complete sets. I love the t205 Tigers and just got the Cobb, but I really only like the look of the AL cards, so I doubt I'll finish the set.
