			Hey Bill,
 Like you, I am 42 as well and started on the Monster the first of the year (am 43/524).  I also am collecting in SGC 30-50.  There is a lot of truth to what others have said with respect to patience.  It's tough not to buy everything you see but I made it a point to find the nicest centered cards as possible.  Every day I seem to get even more picky.......LOL.
 
 I do have a mixture of raw, SGC and PSA cards though most are SGC.  I will end up with them all in SGC holders.  I agree, the hunt is half the fun.  Maybe we will be able to help each other along the way.
