Why is it any different spending 200k in 8 months or 200k in 18 years to complete the set. You've still invested 200k in the set.

What would you consider more enjoyable? Drinking 6 Beers in 1-2 minutes or drinking 6 beers over a 1-2 hour span.
I think the point many people here are making is that he was acquiring these cards at a very brisk pace. He didn't stop to enjoy these cards, at least it seems, just acquiring a big lot and buying upgrades. With infinite funds I could go on eBay right now and acquire almost all of the t206 set, but what fun would that be? I'm not sure what his intentions were for completing the set, investment or pleasure. Investment wise it would be advantageous to buy a whole lot then acquire card by card. Pleasure wise I believe it is better to take the scenic route and enjoy the journey.
