I have a definite hierarchy among the sets and subjects that I’m currently collecting, and that is tied pretty closely to how common they are and how often they are available.
I’m working on a couple autograph collections of major career accomplishment clubs such as 500 HRs, 3000 hits, 300 wins and 3000 strikeouts…none of which are rare or really uncommon (just pricey) so they fall back pretty far in my hierarchy when I have to choose what to chase after in auctions or on Ebay. Most of them can be had at any given time, it’s just a matter of having the funds.
Then on the opposite end of my spectrum is my quest for T209 Photo Series, since they don’t come up very often in auctions, and most of them are uncommon or rare, they always jump to the top of my priority list.
