Tell me yours!

Definitely a labor of love and a sacrifice for smarter alternatives. I'm an ecard guy so a different world from the Tcard guys, an image collector/type collector with centering OCD so I buy what appeals to me on a visceral level, I also try to keep my collection to 500 cards +/- to avoid my brain getting confused about my collecting goals.
I've always thought an ultimate Ecard collection would include a Master set, color run, back run, and a high grade Ecard set. Tough to say the least.
That being said, the most important thing for a collector is to love what you own and everytime you look at your collection, no matter what the content, brings a smile to your face.
