Yes, I do. I don't collect sets. Rather, I collect type cards and certain pre-War players. I use pre-WWII era "followed searches" for each of the HOF and other better-known players I collect (e.g., WaJo, Sam Rice, Goose Goslin, Joe Judge, etc.) to eliminate having to scroll through so many post-War card issues that I have no interest in. Then, every once in a while, I will do a search for all cards of these players to see if I am missing any that interest me. Unfortunately, this approach occasionally results in my missing cards that I would have bid on/purchased because the auctions/BINs already ended.
