Al C.risafulliI collect HOFers, but I'd drive myself batty if I put restrictions on what constitutes a "card".
Initially I wanted one card of every HOFer, but I recently sold off a lot of my postwar HOFers to focus on pre-1953. Now I have multiple cards of a lot of players. Eventually I'll want one of everyone again, but I figure I can pick up the postwar guys any time, and the older cards are more enjoyable for me at this time.
I also get sidetracked a LOT, and so I am required to spread my limited card budget around to a number of different sets I'm working on.
I have no discipline. Last night I had bids on two prewar cards on my want list, and while I was waiting for the auctions to end, I was sorting through stacks of 1981 Fleer because I decided to build that set a couple of weeks ago. A month ago I bought a bunch of vintage baseball gloves. I decided to build an E95 set and got bored with it before I bought my first card. I'm like a monkey.
