cmokingI enjoy the hunt for cards I need to help complete a set. I am getting close to finishing my goal, and when I find a card that fits my set that I need, it is incredibly satisfying. But if I didn't have the other cards in the set already, it would be a different feeling. So I think they go hand in hand. My main hunt is for 1933 Goudeys in PSA 6 or higher grade. Some of the cards I get are relatively cheap (raw cards for $30 that are EX-MT which normally go for $100 when graded) and I enjoy those tremondously when I do find them. Some of the cards I get are more expensive, and it is as satisfying to find those. Hunting for cards can be fun regardless of budget. Is it fun to buy a card for $30 that would normally sell for $100 when I need it for my set? Yes! Is it fun to buy a card for $12,000 that would normally sell for $15,000 if it fits in my set and I can afford it? Yes!
Low budget, high budget, the hunt is the same. It's all good.
