Default Collecting any unique (or weird) Subsets?

Posted By: david Poses

i was working on a t210 subset of southern league players in the t206 set, which is slow going at best.
started a t207 highlander subset (wanting only rare backs, but now will take anything),
and i seem to be buying every caramel card of hal chase (no same fronts though). that's working out reasonably well.

i had been thinking about posting a thread like this, in the context of having been beaten up by "the monster," and finding myself feeling liberated by it- no longer feel like i have to buy certain cards out of a compulsion to complete a set that i don't really want to complete.

started wondering how many collectors relate to my situation- started vintage with t206, gave up for whatever reason, became reenergized upon discovery that (gasp) there are cards other than t206 in the world, now have a scattered collection of random stuff, am much happier for it.

long story short: i'm collecting a subset of random cards, which, when all put in the same pile, make me happy
