Uh oh, did I start a snowball with that comment? Only kidding.

Well, see, for HOF autographs, the challenge is discovering the stuff. I have waited many years for certain HOF autographs to surface -- for example, Oscar Charleston (PSA SMR lists a 3 by 5 at $4,500 -- triple that of Ruth --- and "Unknown" for his signature on anything else). There is a challenge in just finding that stuff and waiting for it to appear.

For cards, I feel as long as the cash is there, one can get whatever I want. It's a monetary game. With a certain amount of money, how do I spend it, what sets do I build? But I find that now, it's a matter of saying, can I upgrade the PSA 8 Goudey Gehrig of mine to the PSA 9 in Goodwin's auction. Not a challenge at all, just a money issue. An money related limitations/challenges aren't "fun" like actually trying to discover new signatures --- like the board member did with the Cy Young signed piece. Just my take!
