Struggling to remain faithful
I can identify with Card Target. I started collecting the monster a few years ago, and the rate of accumulation has really slowed down. I'm about half way there. When you start buying quality, quanity will always suffer. I don't want to quit, but I'm starting to wonder if I will ever complete the set. One thing that I do know is that I'm happier when I pick up one sharp looking card than whole bunch of beaters.
I've also found myself drifting into other prewar cards. Cubans, e102s and even a Cracker Jack. I guess that you would call that cheat'n. I think I'm still hooked, because I'm willing to sell the other cards if the price is right, but I don't want to sell my T206s unless I pick up a double.
Best wishes on your collection,
Joe
