Josh, I really enjoy collecting. It is a great release for me, and I love the nostalgia. I have always been a postwar guy, but I am really thinking (for a second time) about going the T206 route. No matter what "thing" we are talking about in life, we are always going to run across people who have more than us and people who have less than us. Like others have already stated, I have found it important to enjoy and appreciate what I do have. I won't tell you that I haven't caught myself eyeballing something out of my reach from time to time or getting frustrated at not getting a card that I want, however, I quickly slide back into my own projects and move on. At the end of the day, I feel fortunate to be in a position to be a collector at all when I consider how desperate the lives of some people are.
