I suffer from the fact that there is too much to collect, as opposed to there being nothing left to collect.
For me its been M101-4, M101-5 and T209 b&w. Those sets have kept me going pretty strong over the past year and a half. When nothing comes up from any of those that captures my interest, my attention quickly turns to either HOF autographs or any number of my other interests that pop up, I like to refer to these as my "Interest du jour".
And my Interest du jour(s?) are usually influenced by posts on the board here or a current auction, it might be someone posting in the pickup thread (or any thread for that matter) where I get the raised eye brow "ohhh that's cool!" sensation. Then I'm off doing searches to learn more about a particular set/issue/player/team/etc... and inevitably I begin to pursue the new interest in earnest.
One of these days I'll come to the conclusion I'm really a type collector and not a set collector...
