Well, getting back to the original thread, I think it would matter quite a bit to have an interest in a given set that goes beyond collecting it just for the sake of "completion as the sole purpose." When I got back into collecting some 30 years ago, my primary - maybe even obsessive - interest was in the thrill of finding particular cards that might evoke long-buried childhood memories. And, since quite a few did just that, it was very enjoyable to complete several sets on that basis alone. It's understandable that, lacking that type of motivation, another collector might give up the chase much more quickly.
