When I got back into it in 2006 or so, it was the "less is more" mentality. Cards I always wanted but didn't have or couldnt afford were on the list. Some of them just now being checked off the list. Everyone finds their sweet spot. You'll find yours. Welcome and good luck on your journey. |
Oh yeah this time I'm definitely trying to be more selective! I was a big wax breaker back then, so I had...literal millions of base cards that I'm sure my father dumped/burned when I went to college. Literally nothing of value. The big boys all got sold for pennies on the dollar when we urgently needed money (because of her terrible money management!).
Now I have adult money, and I'm just hoping I can keep my hamster on its wheel and focused on the major project (see my post from today for how I'm not keeping the hamster focused!).
There is one perk to collecting vintage and "old timey" players: there's very little need to bust wax, as odds are I won't hit anything I need for my collection.
I'll also say the folks collecting this stuff have been far more pleasant to deal with!
