Not going to lie...it's a real problem. Putting post war sets together is a fun journey, you learn a LOT. Then...your done. I tried starting over, I have duplicate sets in 60, 64, 68, and 69...but it didn't have the same magic. I still love grabbing sets and constantly looking for upgrades, but there is no chase there. I won't do 52 sets, I just can't stand doing anything knowing there won't be a completion. I've wrestled with 52 Topps many times, only to lose interest. There are other post war sets to chase but I have no interest. I've gone through and got most of the variations, fun...but...I love and appreciate pre-war, dabbled in that...but I just can't do it, just an honest zero interest. I am in the minority, when I hold a T-206 I just don't like them. The size, the "paintings". Part of me says, sell it all off, and start over. But I love my cards and I have a ton of memories in those notebooks. I've dabbled in the new shiney stuff...mostly graded 10 Bowman autos of my local Mariners...that's fun but I know its a foolish spend. Plus, the new stuff just kinda sucks. So...that's where I am at...trying to invent ways of having fun and having some sort of chase.
Seeing "the bird" run is rather exciting...I may have to pick a favorite "to me" card from that era and do the same. I like it.
