I voted Other as I am all over the place at the moment, I have tried in the past to focus on one or two subjects or topics but I always wonder astray. I've just accepted that Im a wonderer now.

But my current fascinations are:
E90-2
T210s
World Wide Gum Master
Zeenuts
Exhibits 1921-1928
E-card HOFers

Subject to change by the time I finish composing this post...

Other. No real focus. I just get what cards I like. (and the T205 set too)

Mostly player set collecting, but also improving my PSA T51 set when I see higher grade cards come up.

I voted other just because its so infrequent that I am able to pick up a card I need for one of my main sets (E92 Nadja and red crofts). Most of what I pick up now is either just random cards I like or cards I plan to flip.

E92 Red Crofts - Anyone especially Barry, Shean, and Evers

Just as several members have already admitted, I am currently blurry.

Inquiring minds want to know, WWG Master for all their sets? 1933-34 baseball specifically?

As a set collector that is still my primary focus. I have way too many sets I’m looking to complete.

Although I still pick up singles if they are a good price on something I feel passionate on.

Easy - completion of my 1923 W572 set. 4 cards away! (Maybe 3 if Barbare doesn't really exist).

Cheers,
Patrick
