This is the exact question I asked John Spencer (the originator of this chatboard's predecessor) about 10 yrs ago. Should I do fewer really nice cards or more of average ones? I think it is really personal preference. I took the 2nd route and went for more but then got addicted and bought everything. Plus, being a passionate type collector some of the series are (relatively) quite expensive in any shape. If I had to give advice it would be to buy cards that, though technically might not be high grade, have a great eye appeal. For me personally I like the rare and obscure stuff more than set building...except for my master D303 set, 1916 Big heads, and T209-1 sets.....hint hint .....If you do what you enjoy you won't regret it.....happy collecting!!
