Trying to add some of the really rare examples like Newhouser, Jackie R., and Roberto C. were not cost effective towards completion. Instead I decided to keep my rare signed RC's and sell all the common ones. I now just look for cool, vintage signed cards and feel that I've had 'the handcuffs' taken off for adding to my collection. Collect what you like, it's more fun!

This is exactly the direction im heading in. Building a collection that doesn’t have a strict checklist and just adding cool cards that I like (with the HOF Topps rookie cards as a goal but not a total all out adherence to the checklist) I think when the handcuffs are off (being able to collect whatever you like) make collecting better.
