My uncle gave me his 1939-1941 Playballs in 1973 when I was 12. I did not start to fill in the holes until I was 19 years old. I completed the trio about 1995 with the 1940 Shoeless. So, did it take me 22 years? No. But probably a good 5 for the trio when I got serious. I started Diamond Stars with the intent to finish in 5 years. I am patient to pay a "low" price and all in un-graded. I have about 20 cards and 2 years to go. No high numbers. And only 1 variation, just for kicks.
