In prewar, money is 99.9% of the reason why most collectors need to focus or narrow their aspirations. For us mere mortals, it's not possible to collect an entire set of T206s AND dabble in other sets. That's why we refocus. We collect something....see something else we like....buy it...then realize that we dont have the income to collect both sets...and sell one of the two.

I shouldnt generalize. That's what's happening with me. My main focus is T206 and Hall of fame rookies...but, i continue to dabble with other sets and cards. When i realize that my bank account is getting too low, i resell those items.

Patience, stamina, focus and common sense can go a long way in collecting pre war cards with a limited budget.
