My definition of success in collecting is if I answer Yes to the question "Am I having fun?"
I too have a goal of completing all the Topps & Bowman sets in Baseball. All the Topps, Bowman, Fleer and Philadelphia sets in Football. All the O-Pee-Chee(or Topps if too early) & Parkhurst sets in Hockey.
1933 Goudeys, 1941 Play Ball, a T206 Back run, a T206 Polar Bear set, an example from all the major T and E sets and whatever else I find interesting throughout my life.
I know I will never completely finish, but to me, the thrill of the chase is most of the fun. While there is a sense of accomplishment in completing a set, I know I'll never run out of cards to chase.
