Bob,
Thank you (and Tim) for the articles - no telling how many times I've read them now. Our posts crossed in time or I'd have added this.
I think you really nailed it for some key reasons -
- "It is a challenge". I'd call it a labor of love - you have to be in it for the long haul.
- "I don't think there is a set around that is more attractive when you can find cards in the set in really nice shape". Could not agree more!
- "It is completable, but a journey." Yes! 4 years for me, mostly 1 card at a time but for a couple of group purchases mostly early on. Scott B, Dan K, Paul S, Scott G.
- "... requires interaction with other collectors to finish. And that's a good thing.
" Absolutely!
- etc...
OK, maybe I'm biased
