Al C.risafulliI'm down to working on two sets, which are the last two sets I think I'll ever do. I have realized I hate set building. I have no patience and I'm way too fickle. Today I ordered a sandwich and by the time I took my first bite I wanted something else instead.
I'm doing a '38 Goudey set in higher grades. I love those cards, I love everything about the 1937-41 period of card collecting, and I think the '38 Goudeys are the cornerstone of a lot of other sets from that period. I am nine cards short, and will probably always look for upgrades that are relatively affordable. That's a perfect set for me, because it's 48 cards.
I'm doing a Henry Johnson Confectioners set that is probably impossible to complete. I have 30 cards and about 5 dupes. Nobody really knows how many cards are possible in this set.
In both cases, it's the accomplishment of getting it complete that motivates me. The hunt, for me, is frustrating.
