Just think how much fun, excitement and enjoyment you would have if you found an original collection that had an unknown T206 Wagner or Plank in it?
I know I would enjoy that a LOT more than just buying one of those cards from an auction house.

I can see where hunting for collections would be great fun, but for me I just think collecting would just drop on my list of priorities if I had that kind of money to spend.
