What I like about this site is you have the "collect in any grade" folks and you have the PSA 8-10 guys...and to me ALL of it is pretty cool. I don't collect for investment at all, just pure fun and passion.
This is an awesome site!!! I hear ya, I am not an investment guy either. I am simply addicted. My goal is about like yours it sounds like. I try and build centered mid-grade sets in the ex-exmt range. Most of my cards are ungraded, but quite a few of my stars are graded. The graded ones largely fall in the same ex-exmt range, with a few sneaking up to nm.

As for what I'd like to build from '52 Topps forward, I would like to build all of the 50s Topps sets. That being said, '52 will not happen for me. I have a nice mid-grade '53 set, and I am working on '57 now. IF I ever complete '53-'59, I would jump into 1960 and work to about '65. I really do not have much interest past that.
