"Are you a type collector or a set collector?"
Frank, is there a reason you didn't offer "specific-player(s) collector" as a choice?

So what is your fickleness?
After selling the first collection my collecting is kind of scattered. Are you obsessed with the condition or grade of the card? Grade is just a number. I prefer eye-appeal over grade - with affordability considerations. Must your cards be perfectly centered? Unfortunately at least almost perfect centering has become the norm. Are you allergic to plastic (TPG) and crack cards routinely out of their slab? raw of slabbed is ok Are you primarily concerned with rarity and put your faith in POP reports? Yes I like rarity and the pop reports are stupid. Is something that was once considered trash from the printer, the focus of your "scrap" collection? No but I do like miscuts and errors. Are you making a living, or trying to, flipping cards for profit? No, on a living from selling cards, although I am a collector and a flipper. Or does the focus of your collection trump any concern about the "bottom line" of your hobby pursuits? I am always interested in the value of my collection and how much I am paying for something. That said I will pay a crazy, way too high price, for something I want or need. Are you a type collector or a set collector? Type, but have dabbled with a few sets. Are you a hunter, who sells a set when it is completed, or a hoarder, who never sells and has a seemingly endless supply of closets? The hunt is most of the fun for me so I will sell. Do you fraternize with other collectors, even though they may bidding against you or are you a "lurking hermit"? Since I am almost always on the forum I guess I fraternise. Fess up. There is something about your collecting habits that many others would consider "fickle". Dunno... .
