A different way
I am now 50 years old and have been collecting a long time. I have never put together a complete set. Even as a kid I never completed a set. I tried once with a Walter Payton set, but when it came time to purchase the rookie, I continuously just couldn't pull the trigger - I feel it is one of the most overpriced cards of all time. I don't want to buy something I don't really like. Same goes for pre-war oldies - all the commons in a set - I don't want the commons, so I don't get them. What I have collected is upper tier pre-war HOF'ers. If its not the big names, I will pass. Some years I only end up buying a handful of cards. But over the years the handfuls do accumulate into an eyebrow raising collection. I love collecting. Collect however makes you happy, there is no right or wrong.
